LEPIDOPTEEA INDICA. 



Sub-Family HORAGIN^. 



Eyes naked in the genera Rathinda and Horaga, haiiy in Catapwcilnia, which 

 forms a link between the sub-families Ruralinse and Horagince, having the hairy eyes 

 of the former, and the neuration and three filamentous tails of the latter ; all are purely 

 oriental, colour above brown, purple and black with blue markings, all have three 

 slender tails at the ends of veins 2, 3 and 4, the middle tail the longest, the outer one 

 the shortest, the inner tail generally twice as long, the middle tail twice as long again. 

 CatapcBcilma and Rathinda have no secondary sexual characters, but in all the known 

 Indian species of Horaga (except //. viola and H. albomacula) there is on the underside 

 of the forewing of the male an oval glandular patch of closely packed scales, on or near 

 the middle of the sub-median nervure, the hinder margin of the winor beinbr bowed 

 outwards opposite this patch ; all have but two sub-costal nervules.
