liy minute vein-dots : ol)li(|uo apical lin(> havely vestigial ; a trace of a postdiscal 

 line behind, ending at hinder angle. 



cJ. Tenth iilidominal tergite of the same type as in pistacina and allied 

 species, rather broader than in jAnto, truncate, very feebly sinuate ; sternite narrow, 

 transversely ribbed above. Friction-scales of clasper rather numerous ; process 

 of harjie simple, slender, with vestiges of notclies at end, short, comjjressed distally 

 and somewhat twisted, gently curved ui)wards. Penis-sheath (PI. LVII. f. I) 

 resembling that of pistnrina : a riglit jmiutud jirocess without dentition, and a 

 narrow left dentate lobe.

S ? . The lines of the forewing more distinct than in dcpuiscti, especially the 

 oblique apical one ; a black patch between R- and R' outside discal line 4, fringe 

 white-spotted to apex of wing, which is less produced than in ilepuiseti, margin 

 not distinctly sinuous between R' and SM-. Underside of body and wings moro 

 g< ilden-yellow. 



c?. Process of harpe shorter than in dejiuiscti. Penis-sheath differently armed : 

 the dorsal apical edge beset with teeth (PI. LVII. f. 2), a left, narrow process, 

 near the base of which stand some more teeth corresponding to the left lobe of the 

 preceding species, the dentition quite variable in detail ; a short tooth projecting 

 dextro-laterad corresponds to the right-side i)rocess oi depuiseti.
