Fore wing: no costal fold in male but costa much thickened ; cell rather more than two-thirds length of costa; vein 10 nearer to 11 than to 9 ; veins 6 and 7 from upper angle of cell; vein 8 from just before it; upper discocellular minute, middle one about half as long again as lower ; middle and lower discocellulars inwardly oblique, the middle slightly more oblique than the lower and rather better developed; vein 5 nearer to 4 than to 6 ; vein 3 about half as far again from 2 as from end of cell. Hind wing: cell not reaching to the middle of the wing ; vein 7 well before upper end of cell, about three times as far from base as from end of cell, rather more remote from base than 2 ; discocellulars almost erect, slightly concave outwardly; vein 5 wanting; vein 3 from just before end of cell; vein 2 almost equidistant from base of wing and from end of cell. Hind wing: outer margin even or slightly crenulated, produced more or less into an anal lobe, which in some species is well marked though small. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs, the upper pair minute. * gazera, Hew 6. papius, Hopff. 6 a. * charybdis, Westw.... 7. scylla, Men 8. mcnecrates, Mab. ... 9. * arathyrea, Hew. . * gorata, H ew 1. 2, o o. 4. 5. t In Amenis vein 5 of the hind wing is sometimes well developed, but the genus can be readily separated from Ardaris by the hind tibiae being provided with two pairs of spurs, the terminal pnir only being present in Ardaris, |
