Ijiirvii iusutHi'ientlv known : green, graniilose. two longitudinal white side- 

 stripes, the lower not very distinct; head (triangnlar ?) with pink side-stripe; 

 horn short, pink. — Food-plant : S'icc/iarum ! 



I/ad. Indo-Mala3an and Aethiopian Kegions. 



Four species. 



Very near Leptoclaniti in stnicturc, hnt distinguished from that geuns as well 

 as f'ol>/j>tychuH and Clanis by the iiaronychiuiu being short-lobed and the hinder 

 angle of the forewing being rounded. The sexual armature is of the same type 

 as in Clanis and Lfptorlitnis \ the buif vein-streaks recall the creamy veins of 

 [A'/jtOflanis. 



The four s|)ecies form an interesting series as regards the development of the 

 inaize-yellow area of the forewing. This streak is, in liiieata, contined iu basal 

 half to the cell, being limited behind by M ; iu cniittfus it lies within the cell and 

 behind it ; while iu the two African species it lies behind the cell, being limited 

 in front by vein M. 



In the colour of the thorax and Lead rnuitcns (India) agrees with iiaimanni 

 (^fv'ca), and lineuta (India) with ajfu (Africa).
