Wing shape. Fore wing proportionally more developed than the hind wing ; hind wing oval, produced at the anal angle, a delicate tail at the end of each of the veins 1 and il>. Wing-venation (Text-fig. 284). The venation is not entirely uniform throughout the genus. In clymenus veins 3 and 4 of the hind wing are briefly stalked and 7 arises from the upper angle of the cell. Male genitalia (Text-fig. 102). Uncus composed of four digitate processes with rounded apices ; no subunci ; tegumen subrectangular, in its normal position hood-shaped, so that the two side processes of the uncus are below the middle processes when the genitalia in situ are looked at from the side ; vinculum wide, prolonged to form a rounded saccus ; lower fultura composed of two subtriangular pieces fused to the middle of the valves ; valves oblong with blunt apices, the upper processes being connected in the middle of the inner surface by a mem- brane which lies above the penis ; penis very swollen, bulbous at the base, the external part subcylindrical and bearing on its dorsal surface an irregular prominence ; vesica with many fine cornuti; genitalia almost bare, just a few hairs on the uncus and the ap
