Genus ANARTIA, Doubleday Butterfly.—The head is small; the eyes are round and promi- nent; the tongue is long; the antennae are relatively long, having the club short, compressed, and pointed. The palpi have the second joint thick, the third joint gradually taper- ing and lightly clothed with scales. The fore wings are rounded at the apex, and have the outer and inner margins somewhat excavated. The outer margin of the hind wings is sinuous, produced at the end of the third median nervule. The cell of the hind wing is open. The sub- costal nervules in the fore wing are remarkable because of the tendency of the first and second to fuse with the costal vein. The prothoracic feet of the Fig. 99.—Neu- male are small and weak; of the female, stronger. ration of the genus ^ , ^, ^, ~ • 1 Anartia.
