 Wings beneath very much paler than above, the stramineous areas more nearly confluent in the male.

This subfamily of the Eryrinidm is at once distinguishable from the Nemeohuna by the groat 

 development of the palpi, which are very long and protruding, and united at their apices, thus forming 

 a long conical beak. The pupa ie also freely suspended by the tail* 



The species of Libifthmnx are apparently well included in one genua, and are not only 

 distributed in the temperate and tropical portions of the Old World, hut are also found in the 

 Ne arc tie and Neotropical Regions, None, however, have heen recorded from Australia or the 

 Islands of the Pacific.

As this genus represents the subfamily, the diagnostic characteristics already given for 

 the LihytlueiiuB are equally applicable to the genus Ubphm $ and need not be recapitulated.

Wings above very dark chocolate-brown ; anterior wings with a broad longitudinal streak passing along 

 the median nervure and continued towards outer margin, ami two sub apical spots — sometimes separate, 

 but generally connected, at their angles — reddi sh-ochraceous ; posterior wings with a broad central reddish* 

 oehraceous fascia which is angulated near apes. Anterior wings beneath much paler than above, the 

 longitudinal fascia broader, the BUb&pic&l spots distinctly separated, the apex with a violaceous tinge j 

 posterior wings beneath violaceous, thickly mottled with dark strigae, a dark publish patch near apex, 

 and the central fascia as above pale and obscurely seen beneath. Body and leg* more or less concolorous
