A EBA^SION OF THE OBIENTAL HESPERIID.E. 131 



makes the type of the genus {nymphaJis, Speyer, in which a similar structure occurs 

 was, apparently, not before him). In samhara, Moore, which he also places in Sata- 

 ritpa, there is no trace of the tibial pencil in the male. It appears, therefore, that 

 whilst the tibial pencil is always present in the males of Baimio, it is also found in two 

 species of Satanipa {(jopala, Moore, and ni/mjjfialis, Speyer) and absent from one 

 [samhara, Moore). 



The genus Satarupa was used by Moore, its founder, in the extended sense in which 

 it is here treated. 



The following is an analytical table of the species known to us : — 



1 (20). Clothing of lower side of second joint of palpi yellow. 



3 (17). Pale band on hiud wing above similar in colour in both sexes. 



3 (14). Pale band on hind wing above pure white or smoke-grey. 



4 (13). Pale band on hind wing above pure white. 



5 (8). Pale spot in cell of fore wing adjoining its upper edge or reaching 



across the cell. Species large; expanse 62-73 mm. 



6 (7) . Pale spot in cell of fore wing subtriangular, adjoining its upper edge 



but not reaching the lower • gopala, Moore. 



7 (6). Pale spot in cell of fore wing subreniform, reacbing quite across 



the cell nymphalis, Speyer. 



8 (5). Pale spot in cell of fore wing small, next the base of cell 3. Species 



smallj not exceeding 48 mm. 



9 (13). White band on hind wing below complete, reaching the costa. 



10 (11). Pale spot in cell la of fore wing nearly twice as wide as that in 



cell 2. White band on hind wing much wider than the marginal 



dark band narada, Moore. 



11 (10). Pale spot in cell 1 a of fore wing subequal in width to that in cell 2. 



White band on hind wing not wider (sometimes narrower) than 



the marginal dark band diversa, Leech. 



13 (9). White band on hind wing below cut short by vein 8, not reaching 



the costa diree, de Nicev. 



13 (4). Pale band on hind wing above smoke-grey. Pale spot in cell 3 



small, not reaching vein 3, in shape like the lower half of a crescent, fumosa, n. sp. 



14 (3) . Pale band on hind wing above cream-coloured or sordid white. 



15 (16) . Pale spot in cell of fore wing large, reaching from side to side . . bhagava, Moore. 



16 (15). Pale spot in cell of fore wing small, next the base of cell 3, or absent, jjhisara, Moore. 



17 (2) . Pale band on hind wing above bright yellow in the male, white in 



the female; pale band on hind wing below white or yellowish 

 white in both sexes. 



18 (19). Hind wing above with an indistinct suffused pale subterminal line, 



the space between it and the pale discal band somewhat darker 

 than the space between it and the termen, and broken up by 

 slightly paler lines along the veins into a series of dark spots . . cekbica, Feld.
