apico-ventral spots of same colour, subtriangular; 4 long, swollen 

 dorsally into a median tubei'cle, slightly bitid, and clothed with 

 stiif, short hairs ; a pair of large, round, 

 latero-basal, golden-j^ellow spots slightly 

 overlapping on to 3, the small, apico-ventral 

 spots present, larger than in 3; 5 long, taper- 

 ing towards apex, marked as in 4; 6 narrow- 

 cylindrical, with latero-basal spots present, 

 but smaller, and half operlapping on to 5; 

 the small apico-ventral spots absent; a pair 

 of small, semi-oval, golden-yellow spots later- 

 ally at apex of 6; 7-8 narrow, long, cylin- 

 drical, resembling 6, but without basal spots: 

 9 very short, blackish; appendages black at A 

 bases, golden apically, inferior shovel-shaped, 

 hairy, as in Text-fig. 2, A. 



Wings with black venation except basal 

 two-thirds of C, bases of anal veins, and 

 many cross-veins, which are pale straw-

band runs from base to pterostigma, 

 enclosing Sc and R; the costal cross- 

 veins towards pterostigma also outlined 

 in black. Pterostiyma with a straw 

 spot covering five veinlets, and bor- 

 dered basal ly with black; apex of wing 

 beyond pterostigma strongly black- 

 ened, the basal border of this black 

 patch oblique, nearly a straiglit line. 

 In hind wing, the pattern is similar, 

 but the longitudinal, black band fills 

 the whole costal and subcostal spaces.
