feebly sinuate, tenth tergite slenderer, especially apioally in dorsal view. Vaginal

<S ? . The line crossing the forewing between M' and M- is irregular and 

 much less oblique than the corresponding line of jja/meri, being behind at least 

 5 mm. distant from the snbbasal band, while at the costal margin the baud is more 

 jn'O-ximal than in jxtlmeri. Hindwing with a blackish brown distal marginal band. 

 Genital armature as in pahneri.

S ? . The upperside of the body and forewing of the type is less brown than 



in fresh specimens. The underside of the hindwing bears distally of the cell a 



])rominent, nearly straight, black or brown line. 



3 ■ The snbmesial ridge of the harpe is much higher than in yunnascus, the 

 ventral part of the harjse scarcely so distinct as in that species ; the jienis-sheath 

 is not essentially diiferent ; the apex is dorsally more strongly chitinised than 

 ventrally ; the feebly raised rounded carina which appears in yaniiascus as a dark 

 line is not marked except at the end. The tenth tergite is vertically broader in 

 and beyond the middle than in yannascus ; the sternite is less sinuate.

Grote's descrijition of sexoculata applies to the present species. Butler and 

 Druce, not being acquainted with this insect, identified specimens of yaiinaacus as 

 xexorulata, and Rothschild made the same mistake (see yannascus).
