Clasper slender ; dorsal maro:in sliarhtly concave from base to apex ; no patch of 

 bristles on iunerside ; harpe (Fl. XLVIII. f. o) : basal portion lonor, process of the 

 sute/litia-type, but shorter and less cnrved. Process of j)enis-sheatli short and 

 obtuse. Hindtarsns and hindtibia normally scaled. 



Early stages not known. 



The larva fignred by Burmeister, I.e., is perhaps tliat of obliquus. It is brown, 

 and has a white band on the tenth segment.

c? ? . (Jramer's figure is bad, but the pattern of the wings leaves no donbt 

 that the figure was meant for this species, which does not seem to have been 

 recognised (from actual specimens) as distinct since Cramer. It is mixed up 

 in some collections with satellitia. 



Upperside of body and wings darker olive-green than in siitfl//f/ft. First 

 abdominal tergite without white fringe, second far less grey in middle. White 

 spot of palpus small. First segment of hindtarsns as long as tibia, and also 



as segments 2 to 4 together; midtibia not distinctly white above. Lines of 



forewing, aboa'., more pronounceil than in satflUtia, but very weak or altogether 

 ol)solete between M' and M- within the })ale longitudinal space, wliich is generally 

 of a pinkish tint ; stigma barely vestigial ; median costal semicircle prominent, 

 but not heavier than upper portion of first discal line ; subapical costal patch 

 triangular ; submcdian posterior pateli trapeziform, narrower l)ehind than it is 



generally in ^ati-llitia. Hindwiug : a distinct tlistal line running costad from 



outer upper corner of square patch, interspace following this line not shaded 

 with black, jiostdiscal line more or less separated from the submarginal baud, 

 which is narrower and more sharply defined pniximaJly than in satellitia. 



Undersidi'. as dai'k as in mtellitid. 



S. Tenth tergite as in satellitia, but less pointed. Clasper rather short, 

 without patch of bristles on inner surface ; harpe as in adamsi and fasciatus 

 with two processes (PI. XLVIII. f. 7, lateral view ; f 8, dorsal view) ; the 

 process corresj)onding to that of satellitia short and not mneli curved, partly 

 concealed in lateral aspect by a broad, obtuse, comj)ressed lobe. 



Larva not known to science. Bonninghausen refers to it as being green, 

 and very difierent from the caterpillars of satellitia ami nnd/emolus, and feeding 

 on Jussieua. It is worthy of special note tiiat this ./^^s,v/('/«<-feeder has the same 

 harpe as fasciatus, also a ,/ussieuu-feedev ; judging from this we may expect 

 the larva oi' adamsi to occur also on Jussieua.
