S ? . First segment of foretarsus not longer than second (PI. LXI V. f. 5) ; long 

 terminal sjjnr of hindtibia more than three-fonrths the length of the first tar.sal 

 segment. Prouotum edged with yellow bnft'. Stigma large ; antemediau lines 

 of forewing distinct. 



cJ. Tenth abdominal tergite (■oni]>ressed, curved at end, snbcarinate distally 

 above and below, with a short lateral carina at end, dilated ventrad before the 

 hook (PI. XXVIII. f. 2) ; lobe of sternite longer than broad, rounded truncate 

 at end, sinuate, margins tnrned upwards, so that the lobe is concave above, convex 

 beneath (PI. XXVIII. f. 3). Clasper broadly sole-shaped, deeply concave ; harpe 

 resembling that of iMiirnnnna hageni, produced ventro-distally into a pointed 

 jirocess ; the distal and dorsal edge of the somewhat concave upper part of the harpe 

 denticnlate, the scaling on the surface of the harpe not very dense (PI. XL. f. 2). 

 Penis-sheath armed with an apical horizontal tooth which is beset with sharp teeth 

 at the distal and proximal edges, the dentition extended proximad along the edge' 

 of the stronger chitinised part of the sheath (PL XXIX. f. 1) ; this armature of the 

 penis-sheath is peculiar to itndulosa. 



?. Vaginal plate (PI. XXI. f. i) proximally limited by a rounded ridge; 

 mouth of vagina covered by a prominent ridge which is produced distad at each 

 side into a long, broad, apically rounded, lobe ; this ridge surrounds the vaginal 

 ojiening in front and at the sides, and forms the roof of a large cavity. 



Larva light green, with seven oblique greenish white side-bands ; stigmata 

 red ; body almost smooth ; anal segment with black granules ; head obtusely 

 triangular. Sometimes the underside and large patches in front of the side-bands 

 red. —Food-plants : Frauint/.s, Ligi/sfrum, etc. 



Pupa more stumpy than that of ami/ntor, less glossy, esj)ecially the wing- 

 cases ; more distinctly multicarinate near spiracles ; tongue shorter than forelegs.
