S ? . The Indian specimens are on the whole somewhat darker on the forewing 

 than the Malayan ones, the antemedian lines of the same wing are more distinct 

 behind the cell, the black angnlated submarginal line stands closer to the margin 

 at R-, and the last but one line of the hindwing is a little more dentate. These 



differences are not constant. The first two lines of the hindwing, above, are often 



all red and are sometimes not strongly marked. 



i. Eighth sternite with a spatnlate mesial process about H ram. long. 

 Tenth tergite long, narrow, slightly compressed, curved downward, finger-like, 

 not sharply pointed ; sternite ])rodnced into a mesial plate, which is a little longer 

 than broad, with the sides almost jiarallel, the apex sinuate, the lobes rounded. 

 Clasper very large, ape.x rounded, scales of outside short, excepting edges where 

 they are prolonged, a large ochraceous jiatch of small bidentate sulcate scales, 

 the patch rounded distally and dorsally, obliquely truncate-rounded basally ; harpe 

 represented by a small basal ridge which stands nearly at right angles to the 

 ventral edge of the clasper and leans distad. Eighth tergite at each side with 

 a belt of enlarged scales on the inner surface, the belt formed by several rows of 

 scales which are closely packed one upon the other, no scales mesially at apex 

 of segment. Feuis-sheath with a small tooth ; from the mouth project two tongue- 

 like flaps which are beset with triangular projections bearing short bristles. 



S . Eighth tergite transverse, membranaceous at apex ; edge irregularly 

 sinaoso. Vaginal plate more or less membranaceous except the strongly rounded 

 distal edge. 



Larva and chrysalis see above. 



Ilah. China, N.W. and N. India south- and eastwards to Ceylon, tlie Andamans, 

 Java, HorrwMj, the I'liilijipines. Boisdnval records it also from Celebes ; this 

 requires confinuatioii.
