vein 3 shortly before the end of cell ; vein 2 almost cquicllstaut 

 from vein 3 and base of wing. Hind wing : outer marghi even ;

 from 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of 

 wing. In the male there is a conspicuous oval glandular patch on

The last two species have oidy terminal spurs on tiie hind tibia). 

 This is a very large genus, confined to the tropical regions of the

 dissimilar in coloration, but which grade one into another imper- 

 ceptibly.
