Genitalia. —Clasp large, tapering to each end, each clasp quite separate from its 
fellow, and with the two divisions into which the clasp is divided only distinct at the very 
end. The dorsal portion of the armature consists of two lateral portions, connected across 
the actual dorsum by a comparatively narrow and featureless strip of chi tin, less reduced, 
however, than in Celastrina ( Lycsenopsis); each side has a rather long process clothed 
with hairs, and of by no means simple structure ; attached to the base of this is a smooth 
hook, so articulated as to have considerable freedom of movement; the base of the hook 
is more or less swollen, and extends somewhat transversely to the dorsal process, then 
with a bend, which may be a right angle, the rest of the hook extends more or less 
parallel to the dorsal process on its dorsal side. It is the size and form of this
