 segment. Pronotum edged with yellow bnflf". 8tigma large ; antemedian lines 

 of forewing distinct. 



c?. Tenth abdominal tergite com])ressed, cnrved at end, snbcarinate distaliy 

 above and below, with a short lateral carina at end, dilated ventrad before the 

 hook (PI. XXVIII. f. 2) ; lobe of sternite longer than broad, rounded truncate 

 at end, sinuate, margins turned upwards, so that the lobe is concave above, convex 

 beneath (PI. XXVIII. f. 3). Clasper broadly sole-shaped, deeply concave ; harpe 

 resembling that of Isogramma hageni, produced ventro-distally into a pointed 

 process ; the distal and dorsal edge of the somewhat concave upper part of the harpe 

 denticulate, the scaling on the surface of the harpe not very dense (PI. XL. f. 2). 

 Penis-sheath armed with an apical horizontal tooth which is beset with sharp teetli 

 at the distal and jiroximal edges, the dentition extended proximad along the edge 

 of the stronger chitinised part of the sheath (PI. XXIX. f. 1) : this armature of the 

 penis-sheath is peculiar to undulosa. 



? . Vaginal plate (PI. XXI. f. i ) proximally limited by a rounded ridge ; 

 mouth of vagina covered by a prominent ridge which is produced distad at each 

 side into a long, broad, apically rounded, lobe ; this ridge surrounds the vaginal 

 opening in front and at the sides, and forms the roof of a large cavity. 



Larva light green, with seven oblique greenish white side-bands ; stigmata 

 red ; body almost smooth ; anal segment with black granules ; head obtusely 

 triangular. Sometimes the underside and large patches in front of the side-bands 

 red. —Food-plants : Fraxinus, JJgustrum, etc.
