Antennae as in Pyrrhopyge, Fore wing : vein 3 more than three times as far from 2 as from end of cell, rest of neuration as in Pyrrhopyge. Hind wing : cell reaching beyond the middle of the wing; vein 7 about three times as far from base as from end ot cell; vein 3 before end of cell; vein 2 twice as far from base as from vein 3. Hind whig produced into a distinct lobe at submedian. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs. * hospita, Butl 1. *paseas, Hew. 6. fgnetus, Fabr 2. ( jamina, Butl 7.

Type, iphinous, Latreille. Antennse and palpi as in Pyrrhopyye. Fore wing: vein 2 from close to base of wings ; vein 3 rather more than twice as far from 2 as from end of cell. Hind wing : outer margin slightly crenulate ; vein 7 just before end of cell; discocellulars outwardly concave ; vein 3 from end of cell; vein 2 nearer end of cell than base of wing. Hind tibise with two pairs of spurs. { iphinous, Latr 1. ocyalus, Hiibn. versicolor, Latr 2. midcifer, Hiibn. eupheme, Gr. & S 3. * pityusa, Hew 4. mint he, G. & S 5. * seta, Hew 6. * periphema, Hew 7. * pieria, Hew 8. * machaon, Hew 9. The last two species are probably not congeneric with iphinous nor even with each other, but seem less out of place here than in any other described genus. 10. Genus OXYNETRA.

Club of antennse more pointed than in Pyrrhopyge. Fore wing : middle and lower discocellulars almost erect, the middle one the longer; vein 5 slightly nearer 4 than to 6 ; vein 2 twice as far from 3 as from base of wing ; vein 3 only slightly further from 2 than from end of cell. Hind wing : cell reaching to two-thirds length of wing; vein 7 well before end of cell, nearer to margin than to base of wing ; vein 5 wanting ; vein 3 from beyond end of cell; vein 2 from well before end of cell, considerably nearer to margin than to base of wing. |
