Genus 3. Danaida, Latr. 
The subgenera may be distinguished for the most part by the 
sexual scent patches of the males thus :— 
a . Males without scent patch on hind wing (7,8) Badena. 
a 1 . Males with scent patches on hind wing. 
b. Two patches at anal angle, on first median 
nervule and submedian nervure. 
c. Below, the submedian nervure noticeably 
dilated ..... (9,10) Chittira. 
c 1 . Submedian nervure not noticeably dilated. 
d. Base of hind wing not yellow . (11) Parantica. 
d 1 . Base of hind wing canary yellow . (12) Bavadeba. 
b 1 . One patch only, on under side between first 
median nervule and submedian nervure. 
c. Protruding as a prominent flap (13, 11) Tirumala. 
c 1 . Smaller and less prominent. 
d . Middle discocellular of hind wing strongly 
angled in male . . . . (15) Limnas. 
d 1 . Middle discocellular slightly incurved in 
male ..... (16-19) Danaida. 
The colour pattern alone is sufficiently distinctive in each 
species to differentiate them without dividing into subgenera:— 
a. Pore wing fuscous with blue-white subhyaline 
streaks and spots. 
b. Hind wing with white spots in the two angles 
formed by the bases of median nervules. 
c. Base of hind wing never yellow. 
d . Hind wing: angle between first and second 
median nervules completely filled in by 
subhyaline white, and discal region of 
both wings essentially this colour . 7. kinitis . 
d\ Hind wing: long white line in median 
interspace; no spot, except the two pairs 
forming part of the submarginal border 8. vulgaris, 
d 2 . Hind wing: short white line followed by 
small white spot in median interspace, 
besides the two pairs of the submarginal 
border. 
e. Exp. al. 85-110 mm. Whitish spots and 
lines large and very prominent. 
/. Two subhyaline bars beyond cell in 
fore wing equally broad outwardly 9. crotuleyi. 
f 1 . Both subhyaline bars narrower, the 
lower one longer and tapering out¬ 
wards, the upper bar shorter, rarely 
more than half the length of lower 10. prcema- 
caristus .
