CELJENOEBHINJE. 61 



SECTION IL 



The imagos of this group rest with their wings fully open ; the flight is strong, 

 l)ut of short duration ; they rest generally on the upperside of leaves. The larva is 

 spindle-shaped, thickest about the fifth segment, attenuated towards both ends ; last 

 segment narrow, rounded at extremity ; head round, somewhat bullet-shaped, hardly 

 bi-lobed, large ; the colour of the lai-va is some shade of brown or green, with a collar 

 of a different colour on segment 2 ; the larva makes a cell by turning over part of the 

 leaf from the edge on to the upperside or underside, lining the inside with silk ; the 

 method of making the cell, however, differs in different genera. The pupa is stout, 

 square in front, with a boss between the eyes, and large spiracular expansions to the 

 spiracles of segment 2 ; it is attached by the tail and a body-band.

The venation of both wings similar to those of the genus Tapena. Antennre with 

 the club moderate but thicker than in Tapena, the acuminate p(A-tiou shorter and 

 curved, not hooked as in that genus, the palpi porrect, terminal joint short, obtusely 

 conical, hind tibise with two pairs of spurs, and in the male with a long tuft of hairs 

 attached to the proximal end, except in laxmi and its allies, in which the hairs also 

 extend along the inner side of the tibia. Foreicing, costa evenly arched, outer 

 margin evenly convex, hinder margin nearly straight, about as long as the outer 

 margin, apex sub-acute. Ilindwing with the outer margin rounded. 



Type, Plesiuneura indrani, i\Ioore. 



We put agni and its allies into this genus, as Elwes and Edwards have done, and 

 not into the genus Tapena, as Watson and de Niceville did, because the only character 

 in which they differ from typical Coladenia is in the slightly different position of the 

 hairs on the hind tibiae, a character insufficient to separate them into a new genus ; in 

 all other respects, in the shape of their wings, in the pattern of their wings and in tlie 

 form of their antennae they agree with typical Coladenia, and are very diff"erent from 

 tjiti-aitesi, the type and only species we know of, belonging to the genus Tapena.
