132 ]\Ir. T. B, inetcher on the genus Deuteroeopus. 
yellow, ubove with three suffused stripes and several transverse 
bands ferruginous, third segment with a semicircular silvery-white 
spot on posterior margin, anal valves and tuft very lotig and slender. 
Legs ferruginous ringed with whitish, posterior pair with whorls of 
ex])anded scales at origin of spi;rs and apex of tarsal joints. Fore¬ 
wings cleft firstly from t [? misi)rint for f], secondly from -j, first 
segment narrow, second and third linear ; deep ferruginous, sprinkled 
with whitish-yellowish ; undefined slender irregular white bars on 
first segment before ^ and beyond -|, before base of second cleft, and 
on middle of second segment; cilia pale-ferruginous, on costa 
mostly dark-fuscous, with dark-fuscous bars at apex of segments, and 
dark-grey patches or bars on lower margin of first segment towards 
apex, ujiper margins of second and third segments towards apex, and 
lower margins of second and third segments about middle. Hind- 
wings cleft firstly from secondly from near base, segments linear ; 
ferruginous, first two segments suffused with dark-fuscous posteriorly; 
cilia light-ferruginous, third segment’with a dot of one or two black 
scales on dorsum before its middle, and a moderate apical scale-tooth 
of black and ferruginous scales extending above and beneath. 
“ CooRG (Kuti) (Netveome), Assam (Kliasi Hills); in 
October and November; two specimens. Very similar to 
rubrodactylus, but the silvery-white spot on abdomen is an 
easy distinction. In D. ritsemae, Wals., the abdomen is 
also marked with white, but differently, according to the 
description.” 
To the above description I would add that the ventral 
surfaces of the thorax and abdomen are pale-yellow, and 
that the white spot on the abdomen is often more or less 
obsolete. D.planeta,\\o\veYe\\ is easily distinguished from 
ritsemae or ncbrodaetylus by the greater length of the 
second cleft and by the absence of any scale-tuft in dorsal 
cilia of tlie forewing beneath the base of the first cleft. 
Early Stages. —These were briefly described by me in 
“ Spolia Zeylanica ” under the name of rubrodaetylus, and 
for the sake of completeness the descriptions are here 
reproduced :— 
Ovum. —The egg is about '44 mm. long by about ’20 mm. broad ; 
in shape it is ovo-cylindrical, the ends rounded and subequal, the 
micropylar area distinctly depressed ; the surface is very smooth and 
shining, of a very pale-orange colour, suffused with red at either 
pole. 
Larva.- A larva found at Galle on June 18, 1908, feeding on the 
flowers of Leea samhucina (Sinh. “ Bouroula ”) was described as—
