iiitenutl one iu c?, 7 mm. in ? ; chestuut, piler and somewhat piukish towards base, 

 a large viiiaceous-ciiiiiamon patch expanded between costal margin and R', extended 

 to distal margin between veins SC' and R', not between SC' and R- as in [jhidiri^^ 

 the transverse lines not dentate ; a broad snbbasal line about o mm. from the base 

 of IP, distinct, another almost parallel with it a little distal of M-, indistinct, somj 

 traces of lines between this and internal anole ; within the pale area there is a 

 large brown patch or cloud, representing two lines, sitiMted upon tlie subcost il 



fork ; another line between this cloud and the apical [latcli. Hindwing as in 



phal iris, but the basal area ilarker chestnut. 



Uiidensidc as in phcdaris, tlie transverse lines of the forewing less distinct ; 

 the middle line of the hindwing close to the proximal line, the interspace partly 

 tilled up with scaling of the same colour as the lines. 



6. Tenth abdominal tergite (PI. XXIV. f. 1) very broad, ajiux very broadly 

 but not deeply sinuate, the two lobes slender, strong, pointed, curved downward, 

 forming a hook, which is represented in side-view by PL XXIII. f. ~5 ; sternite 

 (PI. XXIV. f. 1) rounded. The harpe consists of a curved subventral ridge 

 (PI. XXXII. f. 7, cm), which is distally produced into a broad, strougly chitinised flap 

 with irregular teeth at the edge, the flaj) curving proximad ; the dorsal process pd of 

 the clasper is sliort and very broad, and bears scarcely any setiferous tubercles, the 

 few bristles at its edge being nearly all inserted in the usual way in punctures ; 

 the interspace between the harpe and the dorsal process is tilled up with very high 

 and very thin lamellae of the inner membrane of the clasper (only one S seen)"; the 

 ventral edge of the clasper clothed with short bristles. 



?. The eigiith abdominal tergite (PI. XVI. f. 11) strongly chitinised, lung, 

 very feebly bi-emarginate, projecting, the angles strongly rounded, the sides convex. 

 Vaginal plate short, a short curved ridge in front and at the sides of the orifice, 

 postvaginal part of plate truncate, with the angles strongly rountled and the sides 

 slanting (PI. XVI. f. VI).

?. We have recently received from (Sierra Leone a ? which agrees essentially 

 with the type, though it is much larger. The species is not a typical Cla/us, the 

 palpus being too small for that genus, and the spurs of the midtibia — the hindtibiae 

 are missing in both specimens — are too short. But in the absence of the 6 , the 

 species is best left where it was originally placed. The cross-veins of the hindwing 

 are transverse, not obviously oblique, D- is almost twice the length of D% both the 

 upper and lower angle of the cell about 'JO". Eighth tergite sinuate. Vaginal 

 plate (PI. X\^I. f T) with an asymmetrical transverse fold lieforc tlie orifice, 

 jiroduced into two long, slender, pointed lobes : postvaginal plate rdiuideil-triaiigular 



Early stages not known.
