Cephalic process and head piceous, covered with a white-farinose 
substance, as long as half the body, gradually attenuated from the base, 
its dorsum tricarinate and apex turning upwards and ending in a knob 
or ball sub-rounded, sub-pellucid, and broadly testaceous : thorax luteous, 
pronotum with two minute discoidal, black, dots; mesonotum with four 
basal and two other oblique lateral spots : abdomen beneath fulvous, 
above obscure, dotted with a white farinose substance, apices of seg- 
ments luteous, anus black : basal half of tegmina somewhat whitish with 
numerous, irregular fuscous spots ; apical half fuscous with numerous 
whitish circular spots, varying very much in size and most of them 
ocellated : wings somewhat whitish, apex broadly fuscous: feet and 
rostrum black ; clypeus luteous (Westw.). 
long 333; exp. teg. 76 millims. 
Reported from Assam: the Indian Museum possesses specimens 
from Sikkim, Khasiya Hills, Sibstgar, Shillong. In fresh specimens the 
whole of the tegmina and abdomen above and below is thickly covered 
with a white powdery substance : the abdomen, too, is of a rich red colour, 
which fades to fulvous, and the wings at the base are a light blue, which 
fades to grey. The Indian Museum possesses a remarkable local variety 
from Mussooree in which the entire cephalic process is dull red and the 
ground of the tegmina is much lighter.

Cephalic process half the length of the body, cylindrical, black- 
piceous, ascending at the apex, which is testaceous : thorax and scutel- 
lum yellow-testaceous, the latter with four basal spots and two behind 
the middle, black: tegmina sordid white, sparingly covered with a white 
farinose substance ; a median band spotted with white ; and two spots 
at the anterior margin before the middle and one at the sutural mar- 
gin, black; several fuscous spots on the disc and apex, which is spotted 
white: wings sordidly whitish subhyaline, weakly fuscous at the apex : 
abdomen yellow testaceous, segments margined testaceous: feet and 
rostrum black ; posterior femora yellow-testaceous beyond the middle 
(Stal). Body long, 38: exp. teg. 88 millims. 
Reported from India. There is little doubt that this is merely a 
variety of F. clavata, Westw.
