90 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



Sub-Family CHRYSOPHANIN^. 



Eyes naked. Close to Plebeius in neuration, vein 5 of the forewing is emitted at 

 lower end of the middle discocellular ; in Plebeius it is emitted a little higher up, 

 otherwise the neuration is similar. 



Genitalia. — The male abdominal appendages with the lateral flaps of the upper 

 organ forming bent and equal cylinders ; the proximal halves parallel and enclosing 

 between them a deep and equal mesial cleft, the distal halves bent downwards, lateral 

 arms strongly arcuate, but not bent, clasps coarse, stout, buUate, several times larger 

 than broad, well rounded (Tutt, Brit. Butt. i. p. 328 (1906).

Eyes naked. Furewing, vein 12 ends on costa opposite upper end of cell, 

 1] emitted at one-third before the upper end, well separated from 12 ; 10 from a little 

 before the end ; 9 long, from 7 about half Wcxy between the apex of the cell and apex 

 of the wing where 7 terminates ; 6 from the upper end ; 7 from near the upper end ; 

 5 from the lower end of the middle discocellular ; middle and lower discocellulars 

 straight and nearly upright, the lower rather the longer, vein 4 from lower end of 

 cell, 3 from a short distance before the end. Hiiuhchvj ovate, with the hinder angle 

 somewhat prominent, the extremity of vein 2 is often produced into a slight angle and 

 in some species into a filamentous tail. Head small, hairy, palpi obliquely puri-ect, the
