LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 
Sub-Family HORAGINiE. 
Eyes naked in the genera Rathinda and Horaga, hairy in Catapcecilma, which 
forms a link between the sub-families Ruralinse and Horagince , having the hairy eyes 
of the former, and the neuration and three filamentous tails of the latter; all are purely 
oriental, colour above brown, purple and black with blue markings, all have three 
slender tails at the ends of veins 2, 3 and 4, the middle tail the longest, the outer one 
the shortest, the inner tail generally twice as long, the middle tail twice as long again. 
Catapcecilma and Rathinda have no secondary sexual characters, but in all the known 
Indian species of Horaga (except II. viola and II albomacula ) there is on the underside 
of the forewing of the male an oval glandular patch of closely packed scales, on or near 
the middle of the sub-median nervure, the hinder margin of the wing being bowed 
outwards opposite this patch; all have but two sub-costal nervules.
