S. Differs slightly from the ftreeeding i'urm in the outer margin of the forewiiig 

 being more convex behind middle, the first discal line more curved, the stigma 

 indistinct, the hindwing more rounded at apex and less sinuate before anal angle. 

 Hook of harpe rather longer. Further material may possibly show that these 

 differences do not hold good, or that the Indo-Chinese individuals belong to this 

 subspecies, the Malayan specimens to the preceding.

LXVI. POLIODES gen. nnv. — Typus : /■oaeicornis. 



c{?. Tongue very thiu and weak. Genal process prominent, globose. Palpus 

 very small, not visible from above, first segment very short, joint open, third 

 segment not concealed. Antenna comparatively long, segments dilated dorso- 

 laterally, compressed ventrally, grooves deep, proximal edge of groove raised, hence 

 proximal surface of segment larger than distal surface ; ciliae shorter in ? than 

 in c?, the lateral expansions a little shorter, and the segments ventrally less 

 compressed, otherwise the antennae of the sexes not essentially different. Tibiae 

 spinose, hindtibia with few spines ; spurs short, one pair to hindtibia ; first segment 

 of hindtarsus halj' the length of the tibia, not longer than segments 1 and 2 

 together ; claws large, paronychinm present, but ventral lobe absent, pulvillus 

 reduced, small and narrow. Abdominal tergites spinose all over. Distal margin 

 of forewing scalloped ; D^ of hindwing not or little shorter than D'-, at least twice 

 as long as D', SC- and R' not or very shortly stalked. CUasper and eighth tergite 

 without friction-scales. 



Early stages not known.

 breast smoky grey, mesothoracic tegula paler, rest of body greyish wood-brown. 



Wings, iippertiide. Forewing grey, disc palest ; a line crossing M at M-, 



curved ])roximad in front; an obtusely triangular patch at costal margin at end of 

 cell, paler in middle, followed beliind by some ochraceous scales ; a discal, strongly 

 dentate line, almost parallel to outer margin, faintly convex, black ; hinder margin 

 rather densely, rest of wing more sparsely, shaded with black scales ; a marginal 

 patch H' — M' black ; a patch at internal angle whitish grey ; basal area almost 

 without black scales ; an incons]>icuous grey line extends from apex obli(j[uely
