Genitalia. Harpagines long with a suboval basal area tapering 

 rapidly off quite narrowly in the centre, when it expands rapidly 

 again into a short strong hook, the upper part of which is formed by 

 a sudden and deep excision of the upper edge near the termination; 

 the hook itself is toothed both externally and internally. Aedoeagus 

 long and narrow compared with giganteus; the anellus part of 

 the fui-ca is cone-shaped; the falces are shorter than usual and 

 moderately broad. The harpagines are well supplied with long 

 stiff bristles at the base, but more sparingly in the middle and at the 

 apex. 



Androconia roundish, perhaps more correctly a broad oblong, as 

 broad as long, v>'ith fom-teen rows of closely-placed reticulations ; the 

 distal contour a broad arc, the proximal tapering off into the foot 

 stalk like a pear. The size and shape are somewhat variable, some 

 few scales are as nearly round as possible, and a few are a longer 

 oblong.

 black spots at the anal angle, edged internally with pale metallic 

 blue. Underside. Primaries whitish with the costal and terminal 

 areas yellowish; the spots are black with white edging. Cell 

 closed by a lunule ; postmedian series comjjosed of six internervular 

 spots, the third placed obliquely outwards, the fourth well inwards, 

 fifth inwards often oblique, sixth composed of two black points, 

 which in the female are imited and form a fair-sized spot. 

 Secondaries ochreous, a black basal spot on the inner margin, two 

 subbasal spots below each other, the lower one as usual in the 

 middle of the cell; a large sublunular spot closes the cell; post- 

 median series composed of eight spots, the first below the costal 

 vein, and the second shifted outwards, largish, thu-d and fourth
