Castniid^. 
Buchecker (Syst. Ent. Lep. viii.) divides the Castniidce into (mostly 
new) genera according to their neuration. He separates the genus 
A this as subfamily Athince, because there is no appendicular cell on the 
hind wings, and the discoidal cell of the fore wings is very broad and tri- 
partite, with a very broad appendicular cell at its upper portion. The 
other genera form the subfamily Castniince.
