 Penis-sheath ending in ;i short process as in (). siih.^ttr. sniliatrii/ilift^ a dentate fold

Easily distinguished from nil the other sjiecies by the conspicuous olive 

 antemedian and discal bands of the forewing. The species shares the short grey 

 marginal area on the forewing below with (K ilolirrti/i Sf(/omo»>s.

S. The broad subbasal band distinguishes this species very markedly. Hind- 

 tibia as long as, and long terminal spur two-thirds the length of, the first tarsal 

 segment, ; foretibia without spines. 



?. Darker than J, more strongly marked : not examined by us. 



c?. Eighth abdominal sternite provided witli two tubercles iiitcninlh/ near the 

 middle of tin' apical edge, the tubercles a little higher and farther apart than in 

 xiiljoi-i'lldtd. The harpe (PI. XXXI, f. 17) has two jirocesses ; the ventral one is 

 triangular, jviinted (/if), the othei- consists of two laiuelliform ridgi's, the upper 

 (dgcs of which are so bent towards each other that a (liollow) cylintler is formed, 

 which is produced distad, the harpe much resembling that of jthiddn (IM. XXXI. 

 f. l>-j. The iienis-shealh (I'l. XXX. f. HI) is somewhat bent, its ai^ical edge 

 has developed into a short hook {n'), which is strongly chitinised and is armed 

 with a tooth beneath, and a stout, notched, or dentate process ojiposite the hook ; 

 there is most likely also an armature inside the sheath, but we have not seen it 

 ill the only specimen dissected. The tenth sternite is less deeply sinuate than 

 HI phicula.
