A REVISION OF THE OEIENTAL HESPERIID.E. Ill 



In C.Jiculnea the hind tibiae of the male are thickly fringed on their basal half, 

 and have at the base a thick tuft of long ochreous hairs nearly as long as the joint itself.

This species is distinguished from the preceding by having a small roundish 

 projection of the white band on the fore wing reaching about halfway across cell 1 a. 

 Hewitson's type is a male. The type of P. zawi, Plotz, tent to me by Dr. Staudinger 

 is a female. 



Dr. Staudinger concurs in our opinion that his F. plesioneune is synonymous 

 with C. tola.

 Gehlota, Doherty, Jour. As. Soc. Beng. 1889, p. 131. Type sumitra, Moore. 



Species large and robust ; dorsum of the fore wing usually longer than the termen. 

 Fore wing with several white spots of which some form an oblique discal band, or 

 with yellow spots forming an oblique discal band, or with a continuous yellow oblique 

 discal band. Hind wing rounded, its termen as a rule not evidently excavated 

 before the tornus, in several species much spotted with yellow. Antennae half as 

 long as the costa or longer, club slender, apiculus gradual, the shaft sometimes pure 

 white in front. Palpi appressed, third joint suberect. Vein 5 of the fore wing 

 straight, arising as a rule distinctly nearer to vein 6 than to vein 4, but in flavocincta, 

 de Nicev., intermediate between the two. Hind tibise with two pairs of spurs, and 

 bearing a hair-pencil in the male. 



The different phases of this large genus are well exemplified by sumitra, Moore, 

 leucocera, KolL, and aurivittata, Moore, respectively. 



Though de Niceville so recently as 1889 gave an elaborate revision of this genus \
