before end of cell ; vein 2 almost equidistant from end of cell and base of wing, slightly 
nearer to end of cell. Hind wing: outer margin even, slightly excised between veins 2 and 
1 h ; vein 7 well before the end of cell ; discocellulars very faint, vein 5 wanting ; vein 3 
close to end of cell, twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell 
than to base of wing. In the males of some of the species there is a short and very incon- 
spicuous glandular streak, situated immediately above the centre of vein 1 on the upperside 
of the fore wing. Hind tibite with two pairs of spurs. 
" This genus is apparently confined to the Asiatic and Australian regions, 
with the exception of coroller from Madagascar, and epictetus from tropical 
America ; these two species are possibly not correctly assigned to Padraona, 
though I am unable to point out how they can be separated from it."

" Upperside. Fore wings dark brown : base dusted with yellow ; costal, inner marginal and 
median yellow streaks from the base, the latter expanding into a rather large yellow spot at 
the end of cell, above which are two yellow dashes, bordering the first subcostal nervule. 
Beyond the middle is a conspicuous yellow band, divided into spots by the veins ; the fourth 
and fifth are displaced, as in the allied species, and situated much nearer the hind margin. 
Hind wing dark brown : a yellow spot near base, and a smaller one above it, near the 
costa ; a conspicuous yellow band beyond the middle, reaching from submedian to subcostal 
ncrvures. The small costal spot before-mentioned may be considered as an upward continua- 
tion of this band. The brown portions of both win^^s are more or less dusted with vellow. 
Fringe yellow, cut with fuscous, especially on fore wing.
