discoidal cell ; first subcostal nervule arising nearer to the apex of the 

 cell than to the base of the wing ; second, third and fourth subcostals 

 arising progressively nearer together ; discoidal cell narrow, less 

 than two-thirds the length of the forewing ; upper disco-cellular 

 nervule short, strongly outwardly oblique ; middle disco-cellular very 

 long, strongly inwardly oblique, at its posterior end curved outwards ; 

 lower disco-cellular short, half the length of the middle disco-cellular, 

 strongly inwardly oblique and in the same straight line with the middle 

 disco-cellular ; median nervure between the bases of the third and 

 second median nervules distinctly deflected forwards ; lower discoidal 

 nervule curved forwards in the basal portion of its length, lying about 

 midway between the third median and upper discoidal nervules for the 

 greater portion of its length, but arising considerably nearer the third 

 median ; second median nervule arising long before the lower end of 

 the cell ; first median arising nearer to the base of the wing than to 

 the lower end of the cell ; submedian nervure straight. Hindwing, 

 much longer than broad ; Costa much arched at the base, thence slightly 

 arched to the apex; apex rounded ; outer margin evenly rounded to the 

 anal angle, slightly, if at all, excavated at the end of the first median 

 nervule ; anal angle rather square ; abdominal margin straight ; costal 

 nervure slightly curved only, ending at the apex of the wing ; first 

 subcostal nervule arising well before the apex of the cell ; disco-cellular 

 nervules sinuous, outwardly oblique ; discoidal nervule absent ; second 

 median nervule arising close to the lower end of the cell ; first median 

 arising about twice as far from the second as the second does from the 

 first, arising much nearer the end of the cell than the base the wing ; 

 submedian and internal nervures straight. Antenna long, more 

 than half as long as the costa of the forewing, the club moderately 

 stout, the terminal crook acuminate, long, about twice as long as the 

 breadth of the club. Head broad. Palpi, second joint broad, very 

 hairy, third joint rather short, naked, conical. Thokax robust. 

 Abdomen rather slender, not reaching to the outer margin of the 

 hindwing. Legs, foreleg, tibia with an epiphysis ; hindleg, tibia with 

 two pairs of spurs. Type, <c lsmene^ miltias, Kirsch. 



This genus would appear to find its natural position in the subfamily 

 Pamphilince^ Section B, of Captain E. Y. Watson's classification, and 

 to come close to the genus Carystus of Hiibner, vide Proc. Zool. Soc.
