specimens examined, and the basal area of the wing is not reddisli tawn}-, bnt 

 almost of the same colour as the outer half; these differences are individual and 

 accidental. The outline of the forewing is also not quite the same in the other 

 examples. 



c?. Tenth tergite similar to that of ini/xs, the mesial lobes longer and more 

 acutely pointed ; the processes of the sternite less convergent, longer. Harpe 

 (PI. XLVl. f. 18) reaching beyond middle of clasper, cylindrical, slightly 

 curved, left one acute, right one obtuse. Clasper with a patch of long 

 spines at ventral margin near middle of harpe. Penis-sheath without external 

 armature.

(S ? . Somewhat resembling small specimens of calUomciuif. Forewing not 



dentate, or the teeth vestigial only, strongly concave below apex and more convex 

 in middle than in calUomenae ; a black band crosses the wing just proximally of the 



silvery spot. Hindwing nearly as in pnrce, the black anal mark heavy, the 



space outside it grey. The ? much more grey than the c?. 



c?. Tenth tergite (PI. XLIII. f. 2. 3) half as long again as broad in a dorsal view, 

 the sides curved downwards, apex broadly sinuate, the lobes very short, a trace of 

 a mesial lobe ; sternite concealed by the tergite, divided into two long, slender 

 processes which lie along the inner surface of the tergite. Harpe (PI. XLVI. f. 17) 

 short, slightly curved upwards at tip ; ventral margin of clasper densely spinose. 

 Penis-sheath without external armature. 



?. Vaginal plate similar to that of iiiuus (PI. XL. f. 19).

c? ? . A variable insect, recognisable by the denticulated forewing and the 

 yellow, dark-bordered hindwing. The ? ? are generally more uniform in colour on 

 the forewing, but possess often a conspicuous discal costal patch of halfmoons, 

 while the c?c? are less grey and often strongly mottled with blackish lirown. The 

 basal area of the forewing below varies i'rom orange-butf to tawny.
