liiudwiiig somewhat variable in the depth of the colour above and below ; hind- 

 wing often shaded with black along distal margin. 



iS. Tenth sternite (PI. XLII. f. 19. 20) not quite symmetrical ; tergite carinate 

 mesially, the sides curved downwards, widened towards end, apex triangularly 

 sinuate, the lobes short, each sinuate again, the tijis of the sternal processes visible 

 through these sinuses in dorsal view (PI. XLII. f. 19) ; sternite with two long 

 sleuder processes which are curved downward at end. Clasper somewhat acuminate, 

 the ventral margin shallowly concave before end ; harpe as in inuus, but longer, 

 the spines at the ventral margin of tlie clasper near the end of the harpe more 

 concentrated to a patcli. Penis-sheath (PI. LIII. f. 25) without external armature. 



?. Vaginal plate (PI. XLI. f. G) with the ridge round the small orifice 

 sinuate behind the orifice, two folds on each side joining the raised edge of the 

 orifice at its highest point ; tergite {VITf t) extended to near orifice. 



Early stages not known.

cJ ? . As pointed out by Grote and others, Burmeister's description is kept in 

 such general terms that it applies very well to both parce and the present insect. 

 Burmeister erroneously believed {licastus =) parce to be a species without a silvery 

 s])ot on the forewing. The specimens in the Berlin Museum mentioned by him are 

 parce, not the present species, which, therefore, is without a name. 



Pale apical line of forewing straight from apex to R-, here much closer to discal 

 costal patcli of bufi-coloured halfmoons than to outer margin, which is less convex 

 than in parce. 



(?. Tenth segment (PI. XLII. f. 21. 22) very different from that of parce ; 

 tergite divided into four lobes, the mesial ones long and slender, the lateral ones 

 triangular and short, the tergite flattened ; sternite (PI. XLII. f. 22) with two 

 slender processes which are curved towards each other. Clasper with si)ines 

 at ventral edge near the harpe ; this ending in a sleuder, curved, obtuse i)rocess 

 (PI. XLVII. f. 8). Penis-sheath without external armature. 



?. Eighth tergite extending close to the vaginal orifice (PI. XL. f. 19); 

 this with the anterior edge raised.
