The tyi)e oi' KeniifcrvciK differs from onr Amboina specimens in the forewing 

 having- a black s])ot on the disc between M' and M-, m the discal line of the hind- 

 wing being a little more distinctly donble behind, in the underside b'ing deeper 

 tawny in the snbmarginal region of tlu; forewing and in the marginal area of the 

 hindwing, and in the tenth tergite being broader vertically at apex. Possildy 

 there is a northern and a southern subspecies (semif. srmi/f'rrr/i.^ and urmif. 

 ninhni/nrriHiK), as is mostly tlie case in the Lepidoptera of the ^loluccas.

c??. Anterior tibia without spines; long terminal spur of hindtibia only 

 one-fifrh sliorter than the first tarsal 'segment. Forewing with one snbbasal 

 postcellnlar spot, whicli is often constricted at 8M-, sometimes ciuite circular ; apex 

 as prominent as in i^tihorrllata, hinder margin longer and distal margin accordingly 

 shorter than in the Indo-Malayan species. D' of hindwing shorter than W. 



S- Eighth sfernite tiof \ohei\ mesially, biU sharply sinuate (PI. XXll. f 24). 

 Tenth sternite (PI. XXlll. f. l.o) less deeply divided than in .s/fZ/ocpl/iifn and 

 ."^emiferrriis. the lolies closer together, either triangular or broadly rounded-trnncate. 

 Patch of friction-scales of clasper smaller than in anhoccUntu, the scales larger, 

 harpe (PI. XXXI. f. 12) similar to that of scmi/'frvens, shorter. Penis-sheath 

 produced into an irregularly spoon-shajieil process (PI. XXX, f. -'), which is 

 denticulate at the edge : the armature within the sheath similar to that of 

 Ki/bocellafa and semiferrrns, but the teeth longer and fewer in number.
