NTMPHALID^. 
Genus (ENEIS. 
(Eneis, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schraett. p. 58 (1816). 
Chionobas, Westwood, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 381 (1851). 
" Body very hairy ; wings but moderately clothed with scales of a dull brownish-buff or dirty fulvous 
colour ; the hind wings beneath much freckled. 
" Head very small and very hairy. 
" Uyes prominent, naked. 
^' Antennce short, slender, gradually thickened from the middle into a long but not thick club, 
obtuse at the tip, concave, finely carinated beneath. 
" Lahial palpi densely hairy in front, porrected obliquely, scarcely reaching to the level of the 
top of the eyes, but porrected to the length of the head ; terminal joint small, slender-oval, 
hairy. 
" Thoeax very hairy. 
" Fore wings elongate-triangular. The fore margin scarcely arched ; the apex rounded. Apical 
margin convex ; outire, about two thirds of the length of the costal. Inner margin straight, 
not quite so long as the apical. Veins arranged as in Erehia, except that, in consequence 
of the greater length and narrowness of the wing, the discoidal cell is narrowed and elon- 
gated to some distance beyond the middle; the middle and outer discocellular veins (the 
upper one being obsolete) forming a nearly continuous, oblique, slightly curved line. 
" Hind wings also elongated, so that they extend considerably beyond the inner angle of the fore 
wings. The costal margin nearly straight. The outer margin rounded, entire, or but 
slightly scalloped. Anal margin entire. Yeins arranged as in EreUa, except that the 
discoidal cell is elongated and narrow, extending considerably beyond the middle of the 
wing. The upper discocellular vein is also much elongated, and the lower one as long as 
the space between the base of the third branch of the median vein and the point of its 
junction with the outer discocellular. 
" Fore legs of the male very small and slender, densely clothed to the tip with long loose hairs. 
The femur about as long as the tibia, and the tarsus as the tibia. 
" Four hind legs short. Femur ratlicr thick, very hairy beneath. Tibia clothed all over with 
long loose hairs ; tibial spurs long and acute. Tarsi armed beneath and at the sides with 
rows of spines. Ungues curved, long, simple, and very acute. Paronychia and pulvillua 
small. 
" Abdomkn small, slender, hairy." (Westwood, I.e.) 
This genus is distinguished from other genera of Satyrinae " partly by the 
more elongate form of the wings, tlie shorter inner margin of the anterior, 
whicli occasions a deeper incision between their posterior angle and the outer 
angle of the hind wings, partly by the wings being less densely clothed with 
scales than ordinary, and partly by the pale, livid, or obscure colours of tlie 
wings, and the hind ones marked witli ])aler veins beneath."
