126 LEPIDOPTEBA INBIC'A. 



label marked " India Atk," but it cannot be an Indian insect ; it is the female of 

 Pseudodipsas fumidus, Miskin, from Australia, and therefore we omit it from the 

 Indian fauna. 



Cephenes undoubtedly belongs to the genus Pseudodipsas, Felder, the type of 

 which is eone, from the Aru Islands. We have examined Felder's types of eojie, kindly 

 lent us from the Tring Museum ; they are both females, but there is a male in the 

 B. M. and another in the Druce collection. It does not belong to the Poritia group. 



Sub-Family AMBLYPODIIN^. 



Foreiving, veins 5, 6 and 7 approximate at base, 7 usually ends on outer margin 

 below the apex, 7, 10 and 11 sometimes almost parallel to each other and somewhat 

 close together, 9 out of 7 from beyond its middle, 8 absent, except in the males ot 

 Ambli/piodia and Iraota, when it is very short, being emitted out of 7 near its 

 termination, 11 always quite free from 12; upper discocellular generally very short, 

 absent in Iraota and Amblypodia. Eyes naked, palpi long, mostly naked, body stout, 

 legs short ; no secondary sexual characters except for a small tuft of hairs on the inner 

 margin of the forewing in Iraota ; an anal lobe to the hindwing, all with tails, except 

 in the genus Arhopala, where some have rudimentary tails and some absolutely tail- 

 less, a character in the Lycsenidse apparently of only specific importance ; of large size, 

 wings squarely built, colour above blue (in a few species of Arhopala green), markings 

 on the underside mostly variegated, with spots and transverse fasciae. 



All the descriptions and expositions of the genitalia are taken by permission from 

 Bethune-Baker's excellent monograph of the family in Trans. Zool. Soc. 1903.

 (genitalia). 



Eyes naked. Forewing with three sub-costal nervules, 12 ends on costa 

 opposite end of cell, 9 out of 7 from near its end, 8 absent, 11 from middle 

 of cell ; discocellulars upright, concave, the middle a little shorter than the 

 lower, sub-median vein straight. Costa regularly arched, more so in the female 

 than in the male, apex acute, outer margin slightly concave below the 

 apex, then strongly convex, especially so in the female, hinder margin slightly 

 sinuous. Hindwing, vein 7 from near upper end of cell, discocellulars straight, of 

 equal length and slightly outwardly oblique, vein 3 from lower end of cell, 

 sub-median nervure straight, internal nervure at first straight then strongly
