Genus DIRCENNA, Doubleday 5////d'/;/7r.—Medium-sized butterflies, for the most part with quite transparent wings. The most characteristic features of this genus, separating it from its near allies, are the thread-like front feet of the fe- males, furnished with four-jointed tarsi (), the very hairy palpi, and the wide cell of the hind wing, abruptly terminat- ing about the middle of the wing. Furthermoi"e, in the male sex the hind wing is strongly bowed out about Fig. 83.— the middle of the costal Fore leg of , ,, ^ , .

Early Stages. —Very little is as yet known about the early stages of these ie genus jpsects, and what has been said of the characteristics of the caterpillars and chrysalids of the subfamily of the ithomiince must suffice us here. This genus numbers a large array of species which are found in the hottest parts of the tropics of the New World. They fairly swarm in wooded paths amid the jungle of the Amazonian region, and no collection, however small, is ever received from those parts without containing specimens belonging to the group.
