This family has an absolutely universal distribution, extending 
even into the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Many of the genera 
are, however, restricted in their range. 
Hmtera , Zymanopoda , Calisto , Comrades, Taygetis, Eronophila, 
Euptychia , and some allied forms (25 genera in all) are Neotropi- 
cal, the last named extending north to Canada ; JDebis, Melanitis, 
Mycalesis and Ypthima , are mostly Oriental, but extending also 
into the Australian and the Ethiopian regions; Onaphodes, 
Leptoneura, and a few other small genera, are exclusively Ethio- 
pian ; Xenica , Hypocista, and Heteronympha , are Australian ; Ere- 
bia, Satyrus, Hipparchia, Ccenonyinpha, and allies, are mostly 
Paleearctie, but some species are Ethiopian, and others Nearctic • 
Chionatas , is characteristic of the whole Arctic regions, but is 
also found in Chili and the Western Himalayas. The peculiar 
genera in each region are, — Neotropical, 25 ; Australian, 7 ;

The genus Elymnias, which constitutes this family, is char-

with several groups of Yertebrata, in showing the resemblance
