(S ¥ . Closely allied to EnpinaiKja-, but eye heavily lasbed, geiial process 

 triangular, first segment of liindtarsiis as long as segments 2 to 5 together, clasper 

 without iVictiou-scale.s. 



h&wa {oi ardeniac) tapering in front, minutely dotted witii white all over; head,

 horn, bordered with brown ; five anterior segments and ])art of sixth black or brown 

 ventrally and laterally up to that line, a broad oblique band on ninth segment and 

 the side of the tenth and eleventh the same colour, four ])ale oblique side-lines on 

 segments (J to 10, beginning at the dorso-lateral line and running downwards and 

 backwards to the next segment.— Food-plant : (iredllea.

c? ? . Antenna long and slender in both sexes. Abdominal spines strong. 

 D' of hindwing barely twice the length of D^. There is little variation in the 

 colour of this species. 



c?. Tenth tergite compressed, gently curved, pointed, not distinctly hooked ; 

 steruite broader, not much narrowed to end, apex rounded, but appearing sinuate 

 in distal aspect owing to the lateral edges being turned ujjwards and somewhat 

 dilated just before apex. Clasper elongate sole-shaped, dorsal margin concave ; 

 harpe as in Retlicru /tomarovi but slenderer, very ranch slenderer than in sculpta. 

 Benis-sheath (Bl. LV. f. 12) produced into a prominent pointed apical process 

 of rather variable width, curved towards the right side and bearing a tooth at the 

 ]iroximal edge. 



?. Vaginal plate shaped as in Dcilephila ; orifice large, surrounded in front 

 and at the sides by a ridge which is broadly sinuate mesially (Bl. XLI. f. 18). 



Larva see above.
