Fore wing : inner margin longer than outer margin ; cell less than 

 two-thirds the length of costa ; middle discocellular ahout twice as 

 long as lower ; vein 5 considerably nearer to 4 than to 6 ; vein 3 

 immediately before end of cell ; vein 2 almost equidistant from end 

 of cell and base of wing, slightly nearer to end of cell. Hind wing: 

 outer margin even, slightly excised between veins 2 and 1 b ; vein 7 

 well before the end of cell ; discocellulars very faint, vein 5 wanting ; 

 vein 3 close to end of cell, twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 

 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. In the 

 males of some of the species there is a short and very inconspicuous 

 glandular streak, situated immediately above the centre of vein 1 on 

 the upperside of the fore wing. Hind tibifo w ith two pairs of spurs.

And twelve unidentified species. 



This genus is apparently confined to the Asiatic and Australian 

 regions, with the exception of coroller from Madagascar, and 

 epictetus from tropical America ; these two species are possibly not 

 correctly assigned to Padrao7ia, though I am unable to point out 

 how they can be separated from it. 



There is an Australian genus closely allied to Padraona which is 

 represented in the British Museum collection by mamas, Felder, 

 lascivia, Rosenstock, and four unidentified species. Tliis genus 

 differs from Padraona in its much broader wings, slightly different 

 neuration, and in the male in some species being provided with a 

 linear discal stigma on the fore wing.

Antennte : club stout, elongate, terminal crook short. Palpi : 

 second joint laxly scaled, third joint suberect, bluntly conical. Fore 

 wing : inner margin longer than outer margin ; cell less than two- 

 thirds the length of costa ; vein 5 close to bottom of cell. In the 

 male ; vein 3 is well before the end of cell, considerably nearer to vein 

 2 than to 4, and vein 2 is nearer to the end of the cell than to the 

 base of the wing. In the female vein 3 is immediately before the 

 end of the cell, and vein 2 is nearer to the base of the wing than to 

 the end of the cell. Hind wing : vein 7 well before the end of cell, 

 the upper margin of cell being bent downwards at its origin ; disco- 

 cellulars faint ; vein 5 not traceable ; veins 2, 3, and 4 all close 

 together ; vein 3 about twice as far from 2 as from 4. Hind tibiae
