c?. Tongue very short and weak. Palpns rather stout in S. Antenna thin, 

 somewhat setiform, in S prismatical, transsection triangular ; in ? cylindrical, witli 

 the seriated ciliae rudimentary. Tibiae »ot spinose ; hindtihia with two pairs 

 of spurs, long end-spur about as long as the second hindtarsal segment ; pulvillus 

 and paronychium absent. Abdominal tergites with spiniform underscales besides 

 larger ones, the spines at the apical edges very numerous. 



S . Tenth tergite broad, sides slanting towards apex, the latter sinuate, with 

 tlie lobes obtuse (PI. XXIV. f. 21) ; steruite with a broad, triangular, mesial lobe, 

 which is somewhat constricted at the base. Clasper (PI. XXXIII. f. 8) sole-shaj^ed, 

 without friction-scales, apical half of internal surface hairy, the hairs pointing 

 proximad, basal half smooth, deeper concave ; harpe represented by a ratlier weak 

 mesial fold, which is longitudinal in position, ending in a flat spatulate process 

 which curves ventrad ; there is no subdorsal basal tnberculated lobe as in Clanis- 

 Penis-sheath weak, without armature. 



? not dissected. 



Early stages not described ; larva on poplar. 



Hab. N.W. India. 



One species. 



Easily distinguished from Clanis by the absence of spines from the tibiae and 

 the absence of the pulvillus and j)aronychium, besides the much sliorter tongue.

(S ? . The insect resembles very much the species of Clanis in colour and pattern. 

 As in Clanis pkalaris there is no black streak behind the cell on the underside of 

 forewing, nor a black basal patch on the upperside of the hindwing, but the latter 

 wing has at least one distinct line in the outer half. Tlie mid- and hindtibiae are 

 greyish white on the upperside.
