d. Antennae short ; terminal crook minute, never as long as 

 breadth of club. 



a 1 . Antennse very short, hardly longer than breadth of 

 thorax. 



Gegenes, Hiibner. 



b 1 . Antennse about twice as long as breadth of thorax, but 

 less than half length of costa of fore wing. 



Erynnis, Schrank. 



B. Antennae, tip blunt. 



Adop^a, Billberg. 



Affinities.- — The arrangement of the genera in this section appears 

 fairly natural, and connects satisfactorily with the last section ; the 

 genera from Kerana to Eetion all appear to be closely allied, and also 

 show relationship to Erionota^ Sancus, Koruthaialos^ and Astictopterus 

 of the preceding group ; Pithauria is rather out of place, but appears 

 to be close to Hidari, and is probably a near ally of Baoris ; Notocrypta 

 and Udaspes are certainly closely related to one another, but show no 

 particular affinity to any other genera; Actinor, Gehenna, Cupitha, and 

 Onryza appear to be allied to Halpe, which is itself close to Iton and 

 Baoris ; Padraona and Telicota are hardly generically distinct and 

 are certainly close to Augiades, Erynnis, and Adopcea ; while Gegenes 

 appears to be allied to both Baoris and Erynnis. 



Range. — All the Asiatic genera of this group are found within 

 Indian limits with the exception of the following : — Gehenna^ two 

 species of which are known, one from Borneo and the other from 

 Sumatra; Ancistroides, the two species of which are confined to the 

 islands of the Malay Archipelago; Zela, Zampa, and Eetion, all of 

 which are confined to Malaysia; Mimas, which is found in New Guinea; 

 and Adopcea^ which is Holarctic in its range. The following genera 

 extend beyond Asiatic limits : — Taractrocera and Telicota to the 

 Australasian region; Ampittia, Baoris, and Baracus to Africa; 

 Augiades to Europe; Gegenes to Europe and Africa; Padraona to 

 Australia and doubtfully to Madagascar and South America ; while 

 Adopoza and Erynnis are Holarctic.
