Eyes naked, venation as in Chrysophanus, Dolierty says,* the prehensores being 

 generically the same, though each species has its characteristic form ; the species of the 

 genus are distinguished in the males by a richness of colouring as various as it is 

 beautiful, purple, brilliant metallic lilue, and rich metallic green, with the exception of 

 II. sena, Kollar, which has some copper colour and is, as de Niceville says, a distinct 

 connecting link between the two genera. Forewing triangular, costa slightly curved, 

 apex acute in the male, except in //. sena, which has the apex much rounded ; outer 

 margin nearly straight (much rounded in sena), hinder margin straight ; in the female 

 the apex is inore rounded than in the male, and the outer margin is very convex. 

 Hindwing somewhat lengthened, usually with a moderate-sized tail at the end of 

 vein 2 ; reduced to a mere tooth in some species ; outer margin in some species evenly 

 rounded, in others irregular.
