A very interesting species, connecting the lijsithous group with the marccllus 

 group. 



S . The band of the wings is variable in width, often entering the cell of the 

 forewing, this cell-spot occasionally extending down to M' ; scales of forewing 

 somewhat reduced in width. Besides a spot on the abdominal fold and an anal 

 spot there are never more than two red spots situated between R' and JP, the ujiper 

 one being often missing ; these spots are repeated on the underside, the abdominal 

 one being i)roduced proximad to near base, four more red spots being present in the 

 basal area, namely two at costal margin, one behind C and the fourth in the cell. 

 In shape of the hindwing asius resembles more the marcellus group than the 

 members of the present group. 



Scent-organ better developed than in any other member of the present group ; 

 the abdominal edge bent upwards, forming a narrow pocket ; vein SM- and a narrow 

 stripe in front of SM- and another behind it covered with small scent-scales, the 

 scaling having partly a somewhat woolly appearance. 



Genitalia: i. Apical lobe of harpe asymmetrical, large, long, denticulate 

 ventrally ; dorso-ventral ridge with some prominent teeth veutrally ; central process 

 sjiatulate, entire or feebly denticulate ; ventral process small. 



Early stages not known.
