Chaeactees. — Laeva more cylindrical, and tapering less 
towards the extremities than those of the preceding genera ; anal 
extremity bifid. The known European species are bright green in 
colour, with dark dorsal and yellow lateral stripes. They feed on 
grasses. Pupa short, with cephalic projections and dorsal tubercles, 
usually green in colour, suspended. Imago. — Antennse rather long, 
with an oblong club. Palpi somewhat longer than the head, the 
middle and basal articulations hairy. Eyes smooth. Fore wings 
with the costal margin considerably arched, the apex rounded, and 
the hind margin entire. All three nervures are dilated at the base. 
Hind wings rounded, with the hind margins entire ; inner margins 
scarcely if at all incised. In colour the wings are brown or fulvous ; 
the fore wings generally have an ocellated spot near the apex ; the 
hind wings have a submarginal row of ocellated spots, sometimes 
in light rings on the under side, and the majority of the species 
have also a marginal line of a dark metallic colour, resembling lead 
or bronze. 
These butterflies are generally of small size, and frequent 
mountains, woods, fields, &c. They are usually local in their 
habitats. The genus is represented in Asiatic Eussia, the Indian 
Archipelago, Australia, New Zealand, and also in California.
