vein 3 shortly before the end of cell ; vein 2 almost equidistant 

 from vein 3 and base of wing. Hind wing : outer margin even ; 

 vein 7 well before the end of cell ; discocellulars and vein 5 very 

 faint ; vein 3 shortly before end of cell, about twice as far from 2 as 

 from 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of 

 wing. In the male there is a conspicuous oval glandular patch on 

 the disk of the hind wing on the ujiperside, and there is also a tuft 

 of hairs on the underside of the fore wing, attached to the basal half 



of the inner margin.

 of costa ; vein 1 2 reaching costa before the end of cell ; disco- 

 cellulars suberect ; vein 6 almost equidistant from 4 and 6 ; vein 3 

 well before the end of cell ; vein 2 slightly nearer to base of wing 

 than to end of cell. Hind wing ; outer margin even ; vein 7 well 

 before end of cell ; discocelhilars and vein .5 fnint ; vein 3 shortly 

 before end of cell ; vein 2 twice as far from base of wing as from end

The last two species have only terminal spurs on the hind tibiae. 

 This is a very large genus, confined to the tropical regions of the 

 New World ; it includes forms of which the extremes are very 

 dissimilar in coloration, but which grade one into another imper- 

 ceptibly.
