S. Abdomen without pale side-tnfts. Scaling of antenna wiiite. Marginal

The tibial armature is essentially the same as in phaeton : we received a 

 drawing of the forelegs through the kindness of Mr. Beutenmiiller. Tlie antennae 

 are said by Edwards to be of equal size throughout, not clubbed as in phaeton : is 

 tiiis statement correct?

c??. Genal process very large, almost reaching to the tiji of the ])ilifer. 

 Palpus projecting, jjointed. Head with slight mesial crest. Eye-lashes short. 

 Antenna slender, feebly iucrassate distally in ?, hook sharply curved, end-segment 

 long, filiform, rough-scaled. Abdomen broad, flattened, resembling that of 

 Ih/paedalia, seventh (?) resp. eighth (c?) segment much narrower than preceding ; 

 anal tuft truncate, the scales diverging at end in ? ; spines strong as in MacfO- 

 ijlossum, above and below, but the proximal spines of each segment longer than 

 broad (PI. LXII. f. 10). Merum of midcoxa jjroduced backwards into a sharp 

 process. Tibiae unarmed ; spurs unequal, long terminal one half the length of the 

 first tarsal segment ; midtarsal comb extending from near base to near middle of 

 first segment ; paronychium with two pairs of lobes ; posterior tarsus somewhat 

 compressed, the two external rows of .spines closely together, with an additional row 

 in between, so that the lower part of the outer surface is nearly as densely spinose 

 as in Macroglossiim.
