h. M. t<pect((l)ilis ni'ihii/ana sulisj). nov. 



cJ. Hiiidwiiig with the apex less rounded than in the j)receding subspecies. 



Wings, bcloic. Forewing with tiie orange-tawny apical jiatch barely indicated, first 



line just proximal of base of SC'' (fork), fifth line — the fourth quite indistinct — 



continued to tip of M', not interrupted or obsolescent behind W. Hindwing: first 



line at lower angle of cell, not in cell, fourth not angulate between 11'' and M', 

 barely 3 mm. from tip of M'. Lobes of tenth tergite notched, not obliquely rounded ; 

 sternite with the mesial jiart dilated to a triangular, sliort and broad lobe. 



? . Not known. 



Hah. Benkoelen, West Sumatra (Ericsson), 1 S in the Tring Museum. 

 L. spectnhU'is occurs doubtless in the countries between Sumatra and Sikliim, and 

 most likely also on Borneo and Java. The discovery of the species in Sumatra is 

 very interesting, as hitherto the insect was known only from Sikhim.

c??. Tongue with fringe. Pilifer with brush of bristles. Antenna one-third 

 the length of the forewing in c?, a little shorter in ?. Of the most distal double 

 line of the forewing the external one is much heavier than the proximal one ; the 

 former stops mostly at M', but is occasionally continued beyond this vein, curving 

 basad and ending at the marginal spot ; the inner line encircles spot M^, its posterior, 

 ])ortion is often very faint. The marginal area beyond this double line is tawny 

 or brown on the under surface, seldom of the same colour as the disc. Ground- 

 colour, and number and position of lines variable individually ; the first line of the 

 underside of the hindwing seldom in cell, often well outside cell. 



S. Tenth tergite (PI. XXVI. f. 0) divided into two rounded lobes ; sternite 

 pointed, triangular, or bell-shaped, rather variable in shape (PI. XXVI. f. 9. 10. 

 11. 12). Dorsoapical lobe of das per pointed, shorter than in .sperckius ; harpe more 

 strongly hook-shaped, about midway between the harpes of .sy^('rt"/»«.s and amhoiiiiciis, 

 not denticulate ; [irocesses above penis-slieath long, granulose. 



?. Vaginal plate (PI. XVIII. f. 17. IS) with a more or less prominent rounded 

 tubercle in front of the vaginal orifice. 



Larva green, bluish green when adult, covere I with " paler short granular 

 spines," six side-bands on segments 4 to 11; head triangular ; horn straiglit, 

 spinose. Moore figures on the same plate a gallstone-yellow caterpillar with 

 seven rel side-bands and a curved horn. Is this really tlie same species? —

Pupa insufficiently described; said to have a short exserted proboscis, whicli is 

 a mistiike ; cremaster apparently long, narrow in side-view (Moore's figure).
