f'liriiisliud witli t'ascicii lilted seriated ciliae iu f/of/i sexes ; hook lonir and gradual ; 

 (Mul-scginent conieal, not prolonged into a filaincutons process. Abdomen conical, 

 ending in S in a fan-tail wliieh is trnncatc or triangulate; spines elongate, rather 

 strongly chitinised. Merniu of midcoxa angulate ; tibiae simple, spurs unequal, 

 long terminal one of liindtibia less than half the first tarsal segment, this ec^ual to 

 segments 2 to 4 ; midtarsus with moderate comb. Wings entire; ape.x of forewing 

 jirodnced, hinder margin decjjly sinuate, D' siiorter than D' ; R- of hindwing in or 

 before centre, D'' longer than D'. 



cf. Tenth segment simple; tergite densely hirsute (PI. XLIV'. f. :i2), not 

 compressed, slightly curved, ape.K rounded ; sternite almost as long as tergite, much 

 broader, comi)ressed, curved, higher than broad, apex transversely ribbed. Clasjjer 

 broad, dorsal and ventral margin convex ; a patcli of slender friction-scales ; harpe 

 small (I'l. IL. f. T. ts). Penis-sheath peculiar; a very large flaj) covers the apex of 

 the sheath dorsally, armed with two or more long teeth at the edge (PI. LV. 

 f. 15. 17) ; this flap is connected with the sheath by a short, subcyliudrical stalk, 

 and breaks easily otT; beneath the flap the sheath is dilated at the left side, sub- 

 globiform, and armed with short conical teeth (PI. LV. f. 16).

i ? . This species resembles in colour the species of Deilfjihila, ft>/potluiii.i and 

 placida especially, and has always been considered generically identical with them. 

 However, bluuja belongs with molacca in one genus, being a distant derivation 

 from JSephdc. 



(S . Tenth segment represented in lateral aspect by PI. XLIV. f. 22. Harpe 

 (PI. IL. f. 7) truncate ; dorsal margin of clasper strongly convex. Penis-sheath

 dentate part of sheath large (PI. LV. f. 16, ventral aspect).
