upperside of the fore wing, extending from the base of vein 4 to as 

 far as the submedian, being twice interrupted at veins 2 and 3.

augiarles, Felder 3. 



eurotas, Felder 4. 



*riioselcyi, But! 5. 



And three unnamed species. 



Scott, in his ' Austrahan Lepidoptera,' has figured what he 

 identifies as the two sexes of phineus, Cramer ; the male figured is 

 the female of augiades, and the female appears to be a bad figure 

 of Padraona prusias, Felder. The true phineus, described from 

 Surinam, is in the British Museum from Ecuador and Bolivia, and 

 is the type of a distinct genus. Mr. Butler has also wrongly 

 Ulenti&ed phineus and records it from Amboina. 



Iliibner's name Astycus has not been adopted for this genus, as it 

 has never been characterized, and was only published in a sale-list 

 of Frank's collection ; the twenty-two species enumerated under it 

 belong to at least thirteen different genera. 



This genus ranges from India to Australia. 



17. Genus Augiades. (Plate II. fig. 6.) 

 Auffiades, Hlibn. Verz. 112 (1816). Type, sylvanus, Esper. 



Antennse : club robust, elongate, terminal crook short. Palpi : 

 second joint laxly scaled, third joint short, obtusely conical. Fore 

 wing : inner margin slightly longer than outer margin ; cell less than 

 two-thirds the length of costa ; vein 5 from close to bottom of cell ; 

 vein 3 immediately before the end of cell ; vein 2, in male consider- 

 ably, in female slightly nearer to base of wing than to end of cell. 

 Hind wing ; vein 7 well before the end of cell ; discocellulars faint ; 

 vein .5 not traceable ; vein 3 immediately before the end of cell, 

 many times farther from 2 than from 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer 

 to end of cell than to base of wing. Hind tibiae with a long fringe 

 and with two pairs of spurs. Male with a linear discal stigma on 

 fore wing extending from origin of vein 3 to as far as vein 1 . 



sylvanus, E&per 1. 



herculea, Butler 2. 



I'fKflto, Bremer 3. 



And one unidentified species. 



IS. Genus Phemiadks. 



Phemiades, Hiibn. Verz. p. 112 (I81G). Type, phineus, Cramer. 



Antennae rather long ; club slender, elongated, with a short terminal 

 crook. Palpi : second joint densely scaled, third joint minute. 

 Fore wing very little produced at apex ; inner and outer margins 

 subequal ; cell less than two-tbirds the length of costa. Fore wing: 

 vein 5 close to bottom of cell; vein 3 immediately before end of 

 cell ; vein 2 considerably nearer to base of winu; than to end of cell.
