c? ? . In Butler's Revision this sjiecies stands at the end of the '' Smrri»f/>?/i(ip'" 

 and Mft'imimas aiistrulasiar at tlie beginning.— It is apparently a rather common 

 species. It does not vary much in colour, but somewjiat in the sexual armature. 



(J. Tenth tergite longitudinally impressed, slender, curved downwards, not 

 divided, widened at apex ; sternite with a mesial lobe which is broader than long, 

 and is strongly or moderately rounded. Clasper as broad as in Met'nnimast : harpe 

 relatively short, with two processes, one at the end, the other dorsally before the 

 end, both cnrved upwards (PI. XXXI. f. 24), reminding one of the harpe oi Herse 

 and Acherontia . Penis-sheath carinate dorsally. 



? . Eighth tergite rather longer than in .1/. anstrala.^iae, mesially feebly 

 emarginate. Vaginal plate (PI. XVI. f. I) very different from that of M. eni.t/rfi- 

 lasiiie ; orifice median, very large, its proximal and lateral edges strongly chitinised, 

 but the rest of the antevaginal part of the plate membranaceous ; this edge 

 with some tubercles which bear single long hairs ; posterior edge of orifice also 

 somewhat raised : postvaginal part of ])late transverse, triangular mesially, ape.\ 

 slightly sinuate. 



Larva see above ; it mimics perhaps some kind of chameleon or lizard.
