d ?. Midtarsiis with the spines of the fourth row prohnijjed, but not so much 

 as in Elibia. W and INl' of hiudwing less close together than in tlie preceding 



species, D' not being longer than D*. Forewiug with four grey lines, which 



are the proximal borders of taivny-oHve bands ; between the two discal lines 

 there is a feebly marked brown zigzag line. 



S . Tenth sternite sinuate in distal aspect. About sixteen large friction-scales, 

 rounded-truncate, broad at end. Process of harpe short, not dentate. Apex of 

 penis-sheath asymmetrical, both processes dentate.

(?. Under surface far more reddish than in doUchoides. R- of hindwing before 



centre of cell, D' being mncli longer than D* ; SC- and R^ on a stalk. Forewing, 



above, similar to that of doUchoides, but lines in basal half quite indistinct, and 

 second discal line more distal, ending at apex of wing, there being no separate 

 oblique apical line. Hindwing similar in colour to that of Elibia dolicfms. 



Tenth tergite long, narrow, slightly curved, not compressed ; apex truncate ; 

 sternite compressed, boat- shaped in side-view, apex transversely ribbed above, 

 rounded-truncate in dorsal aspect. Clasper with large friction-scales ; harpe as 

 in Elibia, short, broad, obtuse, not produced into a dentate process (PI. XLVIII. 

 f. 11). Penis-sheath (PI. LIV. f. 22) almost symmetrical in dorsal aspect, with 

 a longer right and a shorter and broader left process, both dentate.

c? ? . Closely allied to Ampelophaga. Head more obviously crested. Eye 

 sligljtly lashed. Long terminal spur of hind- and midtibia less than half the 

 length of the fir.st tarsal segment, which is shorter than the tibia; no comb to 

 midtarsus ; pulvillus small, paronychium with one lobe at each side. SC- and R'
