to belong here that 1 have had no hesitation in placing it 

 in Adrapsa. The short cell of hind wing and the o* palpus 

 are extremely characteristic of the genus, and, although the 

 fore leg is somewhat damaged, it appears to be without the 

 sheath of Siniplicia and Xochirid.

Pah Trap, November- 1 9 ; Mt. Dulit, 3000 feet— 2 9 ; 

 Mt. Penrissen, -2000 and 4000 feet— 2 9. 



Widely distributed throughout the Indo- Australian region. 

 One of the ]\It. Dulit 9 i^^ exceptionally large, but it appears 

 to belong here ; the Pah Ti-ap 9 J^'^d the Mt. Penrissen 

 one from 4000 feet belong to the non-typical form, without 

 distinct white on discal spot of fore wing.

Nearly agrees in structure with manif c stalls , from which it 

 differs in the following points. Size rather larger : antennal 

 pectinations replaced at the distal end by bristles (extending 

 practically to end in )na)iijest(iUs) ; segment 2 of palpus 

 hardly thickened at middle beliind (distinctly thickened in 

 mahifestalis) ; costa a little larger. Wings above with the 

 markings very weak; postuiedial shade nearly erect (but 

 twice excurved) from costa to W' , thence incurved; subter- 

 miual shade about as in a weakly marked specimen of 

 maiiifestdlis. Hind wing paler and greyer than the fore 

 wing, with faint trances of postmedial and subtermidal 

 shades. Wings beneath very pale grey, somewhat darkened 

 distally and at costa of fore wing ; markings present but 

 weak, the lines on hind wing less waved than in manifestalis. 

 The Mt. Poi specimen is slightly blacker in tone than the 

 type.
