( 2H4 ) 



mostly lonn;, spiniform, Imt weak ; spines at the edges also long and weak. Distal 

 margin of wings entire, apex of forewing emarginate in ? , often also in c?; SC- and 

 R' of hindwing on a Ion;/ stalk, R- from near centre of cell, U- not or slightly 

 curved ; frenulum and retinaculum present. Clasjjcu- without friction-scales. 



Larva (in Mus. Stettin): head large, rounded; thorax and anal segments 

 strongly tuberculated ; horn long, straiglit, densely tul)erculated. (Jreen, a dorso- 

 and a veiitro-lateral series of purplish brown spots, fourth segment almost entirely 

 purple-brown, this belt produced backwards dorsally, forming a large patch on fifth 

 segment, a large divided dorsal patch on tcntli. 



llttb. ludo-Malayan subregion. 



One species. 



The spiuose tibiae, tlie structure of anteiuia and pilifer, tlie stalked veins SO- 

 and R' of the hindwing and tlie absence of the first jjair of hiudtiliiai spurs are an 

 aggregation of characters whicii is not found elsewhere. 



241. Daphnusa ocellaris. 



*Diiiih)iiim ooeJhirh Walker, I.e. (Borneo). 



(? ? . Pattern of forewing similar to that of the species of Marumba ; the two 

 tawny marks within tlie patch near hinder angle corresponding to the blackish 

 brown spots of Jfirt/mba : the homology of the discal and postdiscal lines encircling 

 these spots is obvious. The same applies to the hindwing and the underside. 



c?. Tenth abdominal tergite (PI. XXV. f. 27) carinate above, curved downwards, 

 the curved ])art deeply cleft, each lobe bluntly pointed, very strongly chitinised at 

 end (black), the sides dilated laterad and veutrad before the apical hook ; sternite 

 memliranaceous, vestigial. Clasper (PI. XXXII. f. 16) reduced in size, dorsal 

 margin bent ventrad, apex rounded, inner surface deeply concave ; from this cavity 

 projects distally the end of the harpe in a similar way as in I'olijptyc/ius contraria, 

 proximal part of harpe large {rb). Penis-sheath without external armature, apex 

 more ])roduced on one than on the other side, the projecting part often subglobose. 



? . Eighth tergite of abdomen scaled, cleft to the base. Proximal jiart of 

 vaginal plate convex mesially, the proximal and lateral edges of the orifice raised 

 into a smooth strongly chitinised ridge which is feebly sinuate ; postvaginal part 

 of plate membranaceous, scaled. 



Early stages see above.

(??. This form varies individually in the tint of the ground-colour and the 

 distinctness of the markings, some individuals being nearly entirely ochraceous 

 tawny, others being more clayish wood-brown.
