S ? . Clemens's description of versnta applies to this insect ; a corapai'isoii of 

 the characters he mentions with a specimen of resumens will convince every one 

 of the correctness of our identification. The species varies a good deal individnally, 

 bnt apparently not proographically. The markings of the forewing are sometimes 

 almost obliterated. The ? is on the whole more olivaceous than tlie S, and has 

 the pale postdiscal band of the hindwing often nearly concolorous with the basal 

 area, while it is much more clayish in the S. The ferrnginons-tawny colour of 

 the underside of the forewing at the brown distal marginal baud appears often on 

 the upperside. All the abdominal tergites have a black basal belt; the belts of the 

 proximal segments are visible, at least laterally, also in sjiecimens with the segments 

 well telescoped into one another ; posterior tergites with single, well separated, long 

 and strong spines ; spines of proximal tergites much shorter and weaker, and mucli 

 more numerous, standing close togetiier : spines of proximal sternites contignons. of 

 jiosterior ones separate, stronger chitiiiised s])ines generally alternating witli weaker 

 ones. Palpus closely appressed to head, rounded in lateral and dorsal views, not 

 projecting. Penultimate segment of antenna longer than vertically broad. Hinder 

 edge of mernm of mid- and hindcoxa carinate, very faintly augulate. Externnl 

 spur of midtibia only one-fourth shorter than internal one. Hindwing similar in 

 ]iattern to tliat oi P.Jiciis. 



<S. Scent-organ of forecoxa strongly developed. Scales at upper and lower 

 edges of the hindtibia and of the first hindtarsal segment prolonged ; hindtarsus 

 with some si)ines between the four regular rows, first segment a little less than 

 half the length of the tibia. Tenth tergite (PI. XLII. f. 6, ventral view ; f. 7, 

 lateral view) with two long processes, which are liroadest at end, curved downward^ 

 and somewhat twisted, the flat side being nearly vertical ; the two processes of the 

 sternite as long as the tergite, the left a little shorter than the right, both 

 somewhat compressed and slightly S-sbaped, apex not very acute ; anal cone 

 projecting between the lobes of the segment in lateral view (PI. XLII. f (i). 

 Olasper sole-shaped, broader and shorter than in Erinni/is, with a patch of stiff 

 bristles on the inner surface in the middle of the dorsal margin (PI. XLV. f. '2!S) ; 

 a double basal tubercle {t), smooth, the lower one carinate ; harpe produced 

 ventrally into a strongly hooked, short process, which is plainly visible from the
