SCALY WINGED COPEOGNATHA. 57 
mark bordered with black, behind this mark an orange spot partially 
encircling a black pupil, placed after the apical prolongation ; in- 
ferior wings hyaline, brown ; legs yellow, femora with two black 
rings nearly obsolete on the posterior pair, posterior tibiz black with 
a yellow ring before the apex, first tarsal joint with two black rings, 
the two following brown.

I have seen but one specimen of this extraordinary species. In 
all the others the superior wings are oval, the apex scarcely acute, 
but in A. caudatum they are prolonged into a sort of tail. The 
colours are very bright and the markings very pretty. Probably it 
will be advisable eventually to place A. caudatum in a distinct 
genus. I propose the name Syllysis.” 
Syllysis ritusamhara, n. sp. (Fig. 3, 39, 40, 54, 96, 111.) 
Head clear brownish yellow, with extremely short, fairly dense, 
fine, silken, recumbent hairs. Along the front and vertex run two 
parallel dark brown bands which touch the somewhat concave eye- 
borders laterally and the hinder ocelli inwardly, leaving between 
them an equally broad clear longitudinal tract free. Occipital 
margin sharp edged, the edge rounded ; somewhat concave. Su- 
ture of the vertex very fine. Suture between front and vertex dis- 
tinct. Forehead long and flat. Clypeus rather small, prominent, 
blackish brown. Clypeolus narrow, yellow. Upper lip blackish 
brown, strongly diverted towards the lower side and posteriorly. 
Cheeks expanded lobe-like below, with arcuate border ; separated 
from the front by a roundish brown spot in which, close in front of 
the eye-border, the insertion of the antenne occurs. Antenne 
brownish yellow, becoming blackish beyond the middle ; in the 
male on all sides with close and fairly erect long pubescence, in the 
female with sparser and more oblique pubescence which, on the 
hinder side, is still sparser and shorter. Ocelli small, dark reddish 
brown ; interval between the posterior ocelli slightly shorter than 
the distance between them and the eye-borders. Eyes smooth, 
brownish yellow to reddish brown, generally dark spotted or banded, 
in the male with reddish gold sheen, glabrous, as in S. erato, n. sp., 
hardly differing in male and female. Temples quite displaced by 
the eyes. Maxillary palp scaleless, brownish yellow, apex of the 
third and the fourth joint pale brown ; sense-club (fig. 96, sk) of the 
second joint relatively short and stout. Inner lobe of maxilla 
figured in fig. 111.
