single cf are tightly clq^ed), apparenth^ consisting of the normal 

 pair of claspers of which onl}^ the thick subconical basal joint can 

 be seen. In the 9 the ovipositor is brownish j^ellow, rather long, 

 conically produced at the base, to which are attached two pairs of 

 nearly straight, elongate valves, the lower pair much shorter, and 

 twisted round somewhat to the side. 



Legs uniformly brownish yellow, slightly darker towards the 

 tips of the tarsi. 



Wings pale ^^ellowish grey, moderately' iridescent, unmarked. 

 Auxiliary vein ends at some distance be3'ond the middle of the wing, 

 the subcostal cross-vein placed shortly before its tip, connecting it 

 with the 1st longitudinal, which latter ends a little before half the 

 distance between the tip of the auxiliary vein and the tip of the 

 wing. The 2nd vein begins distinctly before the middle of the 

 wing, well arcuated, forking before the tip of the ist vein; the 

 pracfurca fully as long as the lower branch. The marginal cross- 

 vein, which is not very distinct, but obviousl 3^ present, is placed 

 just at the fork of the 2nd vein, the upper branch of which is a 

 good deal shorter than the lower one. 3rd vein originating at 

 right angles from a little anterior to the fork of the 2nd, its basal 

 part short (shorter than the anterior cross- vein), thence running 

 straight to just below the wing- tip. Anterior cross- vein and base 

 of discal cell practically in a line with the basal part of the 3rd vein . 

 Discal cell pentagonal, much broader distally, its proximal side 

 somewhat oblique, about as long as the 4th posterior cell. 



Anterior branch of 4th vein forked near tip, making five 

 posterior cells, of which the ist is of the same length as the 2nd 

 submarginal, the 2nd is triangular, the 3rd and 4th subequal, 

 the 5th normal, the posterior cross- vein being situated a little 

 before the middle of the discal cell. 



The 5th, 6th and 7th longitudinal veins nearly straight. Hal- 

 teres pale brownish A^ellow. 



Described from a single specimen of each sex taken respec- 

 tivel3^ 7-viii-o9 and 6-viii-09, ^^ Darjiling b3^ Mr. Paiva.

iV.S.— The wing agrees exactly with Needham's figure (pi. 22, 

 fig. 2) of the North American species indivisa, Os. Sac, except 

 that the marginal cross-vein in my species is a little more proximad 

 and the second posterior cell is triangular, instead of what may be 

 described as attenuated bell-shaped as in Needham's figure of 

 indivisa. 



Incidentally this author's figure shows no subcostal cross vein, 

 which however is distincth^ present in flavescens, placed, as stated 

 by Osten Sacken , near the tip of the auxiliary vein. 



Note on Cladoneura, Scudd. 



Needham figures a fossil genus, Cladoneura, which closely 

 resembles Cladura, and may well have been its immediate 

 ancestor.
