 on abdomen, the first reduced to a transverse line, barely vestigial in ti/pe, the 

 second smaller than the dark brown patch at its basal side, the third again more 

 or less linear. Abdomen below with the seventh segment grey, jiroximal segments 

 with grey mesial patches ; sidc-tufts tipped with white, last two often somewhat 

 ocbraceons. Yellow area of hindwing below reduced, not extending so close to 

 distal margin as in most specimens oi' cori/t/tiis, more sharply defined distally. 



c?. Harpe nearly exactly as in the otherwise widely different .17. alcedo (PI. L. 

 f. 47), being very short, hooked at end, obtuse, with the apical part denticulate. 

 Process of penis-sheath (PI. LVL f. 40) shorter than in cori/tkus, obtuse, dentate 

 at the proximal and distal edges ; the teeth upon the sheath near the base of the 

 process very numerous, extending far proximad, sometimes arranged into long rows : 

 rods within sheath both obtuse.
