Affinities. — Of the above-named genera, Pamphila and Heteropterus 



are closely allied to one another and also apparently to Hesperia and 



the closing genera of the preceding sub-family; the want of the 



epiphysis on the fore tibiae and of the medial spurs on the hind tibise 



readily distinguish them. Baracus appears to be allied to Heteropterus 



and also to Astictopterus. The succeeding genera as far as Iambrix 



connect with one another very naturally, and there seems little doubt 



as to their close relationship. The genus Ge is rather out of 



place, but is probably close to Lophoides; the next few genera 



from Taractrocera to Pedestes, are all certainly closely allied to one 



another and also probably to Pamphila ; other near allies appear to 



be Halpe and Padraona which fall into the second section of the 



subfamily. The succeeding genera, as far as Isma, all appear to be 



closely allied to one another ; and the remaining genera, from 



Matapa to Paduka, also appear to be close allies and show relationship 



on the one hand with Idmon and on the other with Kerana 



and Lotongus and the other early genera of the succeeding group. 



Eange. — All the Asiatic genera of this group, with the exception of 

 Pamphila and Heteropterus, are confined to the Asiatic region. Of 



* Zea, Distant, Rhop. Malay., p. 377. Antenna, moderate, club eloDgated, with a long 

 terminal crook. Palpi, densely scaled, third joint almost entirely concealed. Legs, normal. 

 No secondary sexual characters on wirigs or legs of male. Forewing, apex acute, outer 

 margin straight, slightly longer than inner margin; subcostals normal; lower discoidal 

 arising slightly Dearer to the third median than to the upper discoidal nervule; upper 

 disco-cellular minute, middle oDe slightly longer than lower ; second median well before 

 end of cell, less than twice as far from first as from third, first median about equidistant 

 from second and base of wing. Hindwing, slightly elongate, with an inconspicuous lobe ; 

 neuration normal, discoidal nervule not traceable, medians well separated. The above 

 description is taken from a Sumatran male of Z. mytheca, Distant (the type of Zea), 

 in the collection of Hof rath Dr. L. Martin, aad lent to me for the purpose.
