5 of the hind wing rises almost in the middle between vein 4 and the footstalk of 6 and 7. 
7. Mimacraea. 
**. The discocellnlar of the hindwing of the usual length. Vein 5 of the hindwing rises much nearer 
at the footstalk of 0 and 7 than at the vein 4. 
§. The transverse vein of the discocellnlar of the hindwing is curved between the veins 4 and 5. 
Vein 7 of the forewing generally terminates into the border. 8. Pseuderesia. 
§§. The transverse vein of the discocellnlar of the hindwing is straight between the veins 4 and 5. 
Vein 7 of the forewing terminates into the apex of the wing or into the costal margin. 
9. Citrinophila. 
The forewing with only 11 veins. 
*. From the costal margin of the discocellnlar of the forewing there rise two separate veins. With 
vein 6 of the forewing only two veins are petroled. 14. Eresinopsides. 
**. From the costal margin of the discocellnlar of the forewing there only rises one separate vein. 
With vein 6 of the forewing three veins are petroled. 15. Eresina. 
B. The forewing at the end of veins 4 to 6 strongly, the hindwing at veins 2 to 4 feebly lobated. Forewing 
with 12 veins, vein 8, however, very short. 16. Argyrocheila. 
11. The veins 6 and 7 of the hindwing rise separately or from the same place. 
A. Vein 6 of the forewing rises from the footstalk of 7 to 9. 
a. Veins 3 and 4 of the hindwing distinctly separated at their rise. 10. Teriomima. 
?j. Veins 3 and 4 of the hindwing rise from the same place or on a footstalk. IS. Euliphyra. 
B. Vein 6 of the forewing rises separately from the apex of the discocellnlar. 
a. Veins 3 and 3 of the forewing bent posteriorly. The border of the forewing distinctly angled at vein 4. 
The costal margin of the hindwing deeply excised behind the middle. 19. Teratoneura. 
fi. Veins 2 and 3 of the forewing straight. Border of the forewing distinctly angled at vein 4. The costal 
margin of the hindwing straight or rounded off. 
*. The forewing with 12 veins. Vein 7 of the forewing straight. The palpi not or only feebly inflated. 
t- The proximal margin of the hindwing as far as the anal angle straight or feebly convex. 
§. The discocellnlar of both wings posteriorly obliquely extended, so that the posterior 
angle, particularly in the hindwing, is much more prominent than the anterior angle. 
The lower discocellnlar vein of the hinclwing is very long, straight or somewhat distally 
bent. Veins 3 and 4 of the hindwing always separated afar at their rise. The two penul¬ 
timate ventral joints of the $ strongly inflated hemisplierically. 11. Larinopoda. 
§§. The discocellnlar at the end transversely or only little obliquely cut off. so that the anal 
angle is not or only little prominent. The lower discocellnlar vein of the hindwing is 
more or less bent inwards. Wins 3 and 4 of tlie„hindwing nearly always from the same 
place or petioled, very rarely separated for a short distance. The penultimate ventral 
joints of the 2 not inflated. 
1. Palpi with smoothly appressed scales; the terminal joint long, pressed together. 
The antennal club gradually thickened, long-extended, only little pressed together 
or not at all. 12. Liptena. 
2. Palpi beneath covered with projecting hairs or hair-like scales; the terminal joint 
short, conical. Antennal club well defined, oviform and very much pressed together. 
13. Micropentila. 
ff. The proximal margin of the hindwing deeply excised between the veins 1 a and 1 b. 
17. Aslanga. 
**. The forewing with only 11 veins. Vein 7 of the forewing at its apex bent semicircularly. The 
two first joints of the palpi very much inflated, with appressed scales or somewhat hairy.. 
20. I rid ana. 
7. Genus: Hi ill acraea Btlr. 
The species of this peculiar genus are generally large (50 to 65 mm), and by the shape of the wings 
as well as by the marking they recall species of the genera Planerna and Acme a, particularly from the alliance 
of A. bonasia and esebria. The wings are beneath at the margin marked with dark and light longitudinal rays 
and the hindwing exhibits, just like in those Acraea 8 to 11 basal dots and sometimes also a transverse row 
of discal dots which, however, are all much nearer to the base.
