S ? . Scaling of head raised between antennae. Eye not distinctly lashed, 

 ralpus pointed. Antenna slender, not clubbed, seriated ciliae present in ? , bat 

 short ; end-segment long and slender, gradually narrowed to a point. Body 

 smooth-scaled ; abdominal tergites with a single row of long, strong spines inter- 

 mingled with small ones ; spines of steruites much weaker ; fan-tail of S three- 

 pointed, ? with a long tuft instead. Legs short-scaled, mernm of mid- and hind- 

 coxae not angnlate ; tarsi slender, cylindrical, with the normal four rows of spines ; 

 midtarsus with comb. Forewing sinuate below apex, D^ and D' of about the same 

 length ; SC!- and R' of hindwing from upper angle of cell, R- in or before centre, D' 

 longer than D\ a})ex acute. Seventh abdominal sternite of S trapezoidal, mem- 

 branaceous distally, without sjiines. 



cJ. Tenth segment divided, the tergite broad, the sternite a narrow Ijelt which 

 is produced into two slender processes (PI. XLII. f. 16 — 24 ; XLIII. f. 2. 3). 

 ( 'lasper large, with lanceolate friction-scales ; ventral edge with spines, a patch of 

 spiniform hairs on inner surface near base ; right and left harpe generally not quite 

 the same (PI. XLVI. f. 11. 17. 18; XLVII. f. 7. 8). Penis-sheath without 

 external armature, or with an obtuse ajjical process, inside with long spines 

 (PL LIIL f. 25. 20). 



?. Vaginal orifice mesial, surrounded by ridges and folds ; eighth tergite 

 extended to the ventral side (PI. XL. f. 18. 19 ; XLI. f. 6). 



Early stages : Stoll, in Oram., Pap. Ex. Suppl. t. 22. f. 2, figures a larva which 

 he says is that of //. pan. It resembles very much an Tsofpuitkiis larva and a 

 younger stage of the larva of Pseadosphinx tetrin. Burmeister, Descr. Rep. 

 Argent, v. Atl. t. 23. f. 1 (1879), figures a similar caterpillar, of which he did not 

 know the imago.
