We. SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
black, about three-fourths length of fore wing, very sparsely beset 
with scattered hairs ; the lengths of the eleven (antennary) joints 
of the flagellum in millims. are : 0°22, 0°24, 0°28, 0°23, 0°16, 0:1, 
0:08, 0:09, 0:1, 0°11. Inner lobe of maxilla shown in fig. 92 ; 
maxillary palp without spurs (fig. 93); organ of maxillary palp 
(sense-club, fig. 93 sk) slender. 
Thorax dull brownish black; whether it has had scales above 
cannot be asserted since all examples are badly rubbed, still here 
and there a single silver scale appears to be present. Legs brownish 
black ; the following parts are clear brownish yellow :—Apices of 
the coxze, the trochanters, the apex of the hind femur, the base of 
the hind tibia ; a narrow ring on the tibiz near the end of the first 
third, in the hind tibia at the end of the first fourth, and the apices 
of the tibiz. The short spurs which stand on all sides of the hind 
tibia (fig. 121) are yellowish. 
The length of the anterior tibia is 0°67 mm., of the middle tibia 
0:72 mm., of the hind tibia 1°33 mm. 
The lengths in millims. of the tarsal joints are: in the forefoot 
0:5, 0°08, 0:1; in the middle foot, 0°55, 0°08, 0:1; in the pos- 
terior foot, 0°77, 0°08, 0:1. The ratio of the hind tarsal joints 
is therefore as 73: +: 1. First hind tarsal joint with about 23 
ctenidiobothria. Claws (fig. 57) very large, tooth before the apex 
broad and stout, the five or six hair-like sete between the basal 
angle and the tooth, very stout. Femora, tibie, and first tarsal 
joints beset with slender scales. 
Membrane of the fore wing dark blackish brown. Pterostigma 
very slender and narrow ; the distal portion of the subcosta which 
limits the pterostigma distinct but very short, arising approxi- 
mately in the middle of the length of r,, which here forms a feeble 
angle. Peduncle of the radial fork as long as r,+, and about 
twice as long as the media between cross vein and first bifurcation. 
Areola postica rather high and relatively short, cw, long, about 
twice as long as cu,. The pattern produced by the scaling of the 
fore wing, which is almost entirely rubbed away in most of the speci- 
mens and is to some extent well preserved in one example only, 
is as follows :—Ground-colour whitish gray with silvery lustre, 
The following parts are black :—The base (more extended behind), 
_ a cross band through the middle and another through the end of 
the third quarter, as well as the apex ; all the dark markings are 
much interrupted by roundish’ silver spots; the markings of the 
apical half are united by irregular black anastomoses. 
Scales of fore wing (fig. 33) very broad, the sides attenuating 
towards the base, with feebly arcuate almost directly truncate
