interspaces between the disral lines also filled up witli olive ; snbmarginal lin(> 

 not distinct lievond M', more strongly curved than in irildri ; distal margin less 

 oblique, convex behind middle, hinder margin rather longer thnn in the allied 



species, coming near stuboceUnta in wing-form. Hindwiiig shaded with brown 



and grey, with few S])Pclcles ; apex strongly rounded. 



i'julernidf (divaceous lawny, much shaded with Vimwn ; grey marginal area 

 of forewing not extemling iieyond M'. 



i. Eighth sternite with a small ronndecV mesial lobe. Tenth sternite sinuate. 

 Harpe with a pointed curved snlmiesial jirocess and a broad spatnlate distal one. 

 Penis-sheath ending in a short process ns in I), si/fis/r. fiit/i.'ifric//h's, a dentate fold 

 at each side as iu that species. 



?. Ridge in front of vaginal cavity shallowly bisinnate, thin but strongly 

 chitiniaed, nearly smooth : postvaginal jiart of plate smooth, truncate, mesially 

 somewhat raised.

Easily distinguished from all the other sjiecies by the conspicnons olive 

 antemedian and discal bands of the forewing. The species shares the short grey 

 marginal area on the forewing below with ". rlohi'iii/i sidhmonis.

S- The broad snbbasal band/listinguislies this species very markedly. Hind- 

 tibia as long as, and lotig terminal spur two-thirds the length of, the first tarsal 

 segment ; foretibia without spines. 



?. Darker than rf, more strongly marked ; not examined by us. 



c?. Eighth alidominal sternite provided with two tubercles hitfninUii near the 

 middle of the apical edge, the tubercles a little higher and farther a]>art than in 

 ■f'lhocclliitd. The harpe fPl. XXXI. f. 17) has two processes; the ventral one is 

 triangular, ji 'intcil (/';), the other consists of two lamelliform ridges, the npper 

 edges of which are so bent towards each other that a (hollow) cylimler is formed, 

 which is jirodnced distad, the liarpe mnch resembling that of placiila (PI. XXXI. 

 f. l^j. The penis-sheath (PI. XXX. f. 13) is somewhat bent, its ajn'cal edge 

 has developed into a short hook {a), which is strongly chitinised and is armed 

 with a tooth beneath, and a stout, notched, or dentate process opposite the hook ; 

 there is most likely also an armature inside the sheath, but we have not seen it 

 in the only siiecimen dissected. The tenth sternite is less deeply sinnate than 

 in jAucida.
