midtibia is getierally nl' the same lengtli as the inner one, but often longer, 

 and sometimes a little shorter. 



(?. Tenth sternite less triangular at end than in li/teosa. Large scales of 

 clasper asymmetrical, the proximal side of each scale enlarged, longitudinally 

 folded or ribbed, darker than the distal side ; process of harpe (PI. LII. f. 15) 

 with indications of teeth. Penis-sheath almost symmetrical, apex rounded in a 

 dorsal view; the right process somewhat widened at end, dentate (PI. LVII. f. 43), 

 the left process (PI. LYII. f. 44) vestigial only, there being but a few teeth on 

 that side and no free projecting ])rocess.

S ? . Midtibial s])urs as in minor. Tliorax with a pale mesial band. Inter- 

 spaces between the dorsal lines of the abdomen pale. Forewing with eiff/it lines 

 in outer half, third line from distal margin short, more or less undulate, abbreviated 

 in front, or here joining the preceding line ; the three proximal lines of the same 

 distinctness, or the middle one indistinct, which is generally the case when the 

 interspaces are very pale ; intergradations between examjiles with pale interspaces 

 — hence the lines conspicuously marked — and more uniformly coloured individuals 

 are numerous ; those prominently strijied individuals were described as distinct 

 (major) by Butler. Sometimes the forewing and body as green as in /joUii.r. The 

 width of the pale band on the hindwing is varial)le individually, and its nj)per 

 portion is mostly narrower and less distinct in Sumatra and Borneo specimens.

S- Tenth sternite rather more pointed than in minor. Harpe (PI. LII. f. 14) 

 simple, not dentate, somewhat sj)oon-shaped. Penis-sheath (PI. LVII. f. 4o) 

 asymmetrical, the right process (PI. LVII. f. 46) slender, paucidentate, the left one 

 broader, tongue-shaped, dentate at the edges (PI. LVII. f. 47). The large scales 

 of the clasper almost symmetrical, not heavily folded.

The individuals from North West India seem to us to represent a separate 

 subspecies, but we have not enough material to decide the (question.
