c? ? . In Butler's Revision this species stands at the end (if the ^'- Snu'rintliinai'^' 

 and Afetamimas ausfnilasiar at tlie beginning. — It is apjiarently a rather common 

 sjiecies. It does not vary much in colour, but somewhat in the sexnal armature. 



c?. Tenth tergite longitudinally impressed, slender, curved downwards, not 

 divided, widened at apex ; sternite with a mesial lobe whicii is liro.ider than long, 

 and is strongly or moderately rounded. Clasper as broad as in M('tam>mri.<( : harpe 

 relatively short, with two processes, one at the end, the other dorsally before tiie 

 end, both curved upwards (PI. XXXI. f. 24), reminding one of the harjie of ITerap 

 and Acherontia. Penis-sheath carinate dorsally. 



?. Eighth tergite rather longer than in M. aiistralasiae, mesially feebly 

 emarginate. Vaginal plate (PI. X^'I. f. 1) very different from that of M. (nistra- 

 lasiae ; orifice median, very large, its proximal and lateral edges strongly chitinised, 

 Init the rest of the antevaginal part of the plate membranaceous ; this edge 

 with some tubercles which bear single long hairs ; posterior edge of orifice also 

 somewhat raised ; postvaginal part of ])late transverse, triangular mesially, apex 

 slightly sinuate. 



Larva see above ; it mimics perhaps some kind of chameleon or lizard.
