 distal margin bent basad, tbnuing a rather sharp angle with the horizoutal dorsal 

 margin. Penis-sheath with a heavy, nearly apical, tooth (PI. XXIX. f. 2!l) ; the 

 edge of the sheath ojiposite the tooth iient inward and armed with aiiotiier shorter,

c??. Generally confounded in collections with sesquiplex. Differs as follows : 

 ground colour of body and wings much darker, being almost olive, forewing much 

 less elongate, i)ale bands of hindwing less prominent. 



S. Tenth abdominal tergite (PI. XXVII. f. 29) shorter and broader ; sternite 

 also much shorter, not raised mesially on the ventral surface (PI. XXVII. f. 30) ; 

 harjie (PI. XXXII. f. 13) similar to that of sesquiplex, but the distal margin less 

 slanting, and the upjier angle produced dorsad into a heavy tooth. Peuis-sheath 

 (PI. XXIX. f. 30) with a longer tooth, which points distad. 



?. Eighth abdominal sternite strongly chitinised, raised into a heavy trans- 

 verse tubercle just behind the mouth of the vagina ; antevaginal plate weak, 

 wrinkled (in a dry state), margin almost straiglit. 



Larva and chrysalis unknown.

c? ? . Claw segment without pulvillus. Thorax less robust than in lichenea, 

 esjiccially in c?. Wings rather more elongate than in that species, but nearly 

 exactly the same in pattern. Sexual organs of both sexes different from tiiose of 

 the following species. End of tarsus see PL LXIV. f. 13. 



<S . Tenth tergite slenderer than in lichenea ; the sternite (PI. XXVII. f. 25. 2(1) 

 (ibviuusly longer, straigliter, narrower, truncate, being very feebly sinuate. Ilarjie 

 smaller, ventrally angled (PI. XXXVI. f. 14). Tooth of penis slieutli somewhat 

 longer, basally thinner, and pointing a little more distad. 



?. Vaginal plate rounded ajiically (PI. XX. f. 7), transversely convex 

 before end ; vaginal cavity bordered in front by a transverse, curved, mesially 

 sinuate ridge, a rather deej) impression before the cavity is surrounded by an 

 angulated ridge, the proximal horizontal part of which projects as a kind of liji ; 

 the form of the groove is not quite constant, it being in the ty]>e longer than m 

 tlie specimen from which the figure is taken.
