hind margins are dark brown, the latter very broadly so. The hind 
wings are dark brown, with their bases purple, and a row of hind- 
marginal purple spots. The female is brown, with three purple 
streaks at the base of the fore wings of a brighter colour than in 
the male ; the hind wings are brown, with a row of bine spots on 
the hind margin. The under side is brownish grey. The fore 
wings have a row of faint yellow and black hind-marginal spots. 
The hind wings have a hind-marginal row of lilac-blue spots, 
internal to this a faint orange interrupted band, and inside this 
again a row of black spots surmounted with white angular marks. 
The fringes are white. The clubs of the antennae black, tipped 
with yellow. The head, thorax, and abdomen black. PI. XYIII., 4. 
Times of Appearance. — May and June. 
Habitat. — Woods in the South of France and Andalusia ; 
also Botzen in the Tyrol (Kirby). It has not been found in any 
non-European localities. 
Larva. — “Dull brown, with a black dorsal streak bordered 
with obscure yellow markings” (V. G.) “On oak?” (Kirby, 
Man. Eur. Butterflies). 
Obs. — Dr. Staudinger includes this species in the genus 
Theda, but I have thought it best to separate it, as was done by 
Bambur and others. Its characters are certainly marked enough 
to entitle it to represent a separate genus.

Small butterflies, brown in colour, with reddish or orange 
markings above, but never with a metallic lustre. The under 
sides are spotted with black. The hind wings are rounded, with 
their margins entire, and without tails. The eyes are hairy ; 
the palpi short. The antennae have long and thickish clubs. 
This genus approaches very close to the next, but has 
characters sufficient to separate it. 
There are but four known species, and these have their 
habitats confined to the shores of the Mediterranean and Black
