Genus THECLINESTHES Bober. 
Tijdschrift voor Entomologio 1891, p. 316. 
Forewing Avith A^ein 11 anastomosed with A^ein 12 excepting for a short basal portion: termen only 
slightly shorter than dorsum: costa A-'ery feebly arched, and termen almost straight. HindAving Avith a 
filamentous tail to A^ein 2. Eyes hairy. 
Ta"pe. Theclinestlies eremieola Bober, from Alor, Flores. 
The butterflies of this genus are A’ery similar to those of Nacaduha, but the tail is someAvbat 
stouter. We liaA’e tAvo aberrant examples in Avbich A’ein 11 is free from A’ein 12 for a short terminal as 
AA'ell as a short basal portion.

The type of onycha is a female and the figure is ratlier poor, but Ave believe it represents this 
species and not T. miskini. The larvae feed upon Acacia Avbile those of miskini feed upon Macrozamia.
