54 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA, 
and unusually flat (only feebly convex), with three wide brown 
longitudinal streaks, which frequently coalesce, not quite reaching 
the hinder border and sometimes confined to the anterior half (in 
poor specimens not be seen). Cheeks lobe-like, expanded below with 
almost circular margin ; at the point of junction with the forehead 
a diffuse brownish line. Antenne brownish yellow, the two basal 
joints and the third joint pale grayish yellow, becoming darker 
towards the apex. Antennz approximately half the length of the 
wing, in the male with close-set long hairs on all sides, in the female 
only thickly hairy forwards, beset behind sparsely with long hairs. 
Antennz inserted close in front of the eye-border. 
Ocelli small, reddish brown ; interval between the posterior ocelli 
almost equal in length to the interval between them and the eye- 
borders. 
Eyes smooth, dark brown, with darker bands, generally a golden 
sheen in the male, glabrous, very slightly convex; the borders 
are not angulately set off from the vertex, but the eyes pass quite 
flatly into the vertex; scarcely different in male and female. 
Temples quite ousted by the eyes. 
Upper lip small, strongly retracted. Apical third of the second, 
the third, and fourth joint of the maxillary palp, pale brown ; 
approximate ratio of the palpal joints as $: 1#: 1: 14 (fig. 95). Sense- 
club (fig. 95, sk) of the second joint of the maxillary palp short 
and stout. Inner lobe of the maxilla (fig. 102) with irregular, 
strongly flattened, and rounded teeth. . 
Thorax pale, brown-scaled above, with gold coloured scales at the 
sides. Abdomen, in spirit-specimens, very pale; diffuse grayish 
brown cross streaks at the segmental junctions ; finely and mode- 
rately closely pubescent, without scales ; apex of abdomen brown, 
Legs yellowish gray white; the brown colour is distributed as 
follows :—apex of the cox and on the underside of the femora, in 
each case, a spot in the middle, before the base and before the apex ; 
the latter spot is very feeble in the mid legs and is generally absent 
from the hind legs; on the upperside of the femora the extreme 
border of the apex ; the fore and mid tibize are annulated in the 
centre by two brown bands in such a manner that three approxi- 
mately equal uncoloured tracts remain free; in the hind tibie 
these rings expand so that only the extreme apex and base and a 
narrow uncoloured ring at the end of the second third remain free ; 
the three tarsal joints with the exception of a clear ring in the middle 
of each and except the extreme apex of the first joint. 
Femora compressed, especially the expanded anterior pair. 
Claws (fig. 55) slender, apex moderately acute ; between the two
