 ytigma of forewing not deeper olive than the lines, often vestigial, white fringe of 

 liiudmargin conspicuous from near base to heyond rhouibiforiu patcli. Underside 

 of body and wings more or less brick -red. 



S ■ Scent-orgau of forecoxa very strongly developed. Tibiae broad, especially 

 the posterior ones, the spurs almost disappearing in the scaling ; first hindtarsal 

 segment also broad, this and the following segments with very few spines indicating 

 the outer series, second series with numerous spines. Tenth tergite rounded 

 truncate at tip. Clasper long; dorsal margin nearly straight, slightly concave; 

 no jiutcli of bristles on innersidc ; harpe (PI. XL VII. f. 21) long, flattened, 

 straight, ending in a short acute hook, which varies a little in length. Penis-sheath 

 with an acute and rather slender process. 



Larva with a round white spot on segments 4 to 7, and a large, elongate, 

 obliipie white patch on segments S to 10 (Burmeister) ; or (Peters) with a spot oti 

 segments 4 and 5, and elongate patches on segments 7 to 10, there being no white 

 spot on segment 6 in Peters's figure. — Food-plant : Vitis ; Ampelopsis.

cJ ? . (Similar to satcllitin, deeper olivc-lirown. Forewing rather more 



elongate, the distal margin being longer and the inner margin shorter ; lines very 

 jirominent, of the same or almost the same tint as the antemedian posterior patch ; 

 no stigma, or the stigma not deeper in tone than the lines ; subapical costal patch 

 larger than in satellifid, prolonged beyond SO"' (as in Hiibner"s figure of lii-ao/i), 

 continued as a line down to the obli(pie brown sliade ; crenate submarginal line 

 lieavy, sometimes the semicircular marginal spaces bordered by it filled in with 

 brown ; hinder edge of wing not reddish. Hindwing with a prominent stigma.
