tibiae blackish ; hiiultibia of c? luiigei' than, of ? as long as, the tirst tarsal 

 segment ; spars longer than in the other species of Clanis, the short ones over 

 half the length of the long ones, those of the apical pair of the hindtibia not so 

 widely different in length as in the other Clanis, Uie longer one more than half 

 the length of the .first tarsal segment. Wings more elongate than in any other 

 species of this genns. Distal margin of forewing in c? longer, in ? very little 

 shorter, than the inner margin ; the lines of Innules of the forewing on the whole 

 stronger marked than in hiliiieata, with which the species has been confounded 

 by Leech and Hanipson ; there are in some specimens four such lines between the 

 cell and the jwstdiscal line which begins at the apical patch ; the black area of 

 .the. liiudwing is more extended than in bilineata. 



6. The tenth tergite (PI. XXIV. f. -ij is sinuate at the end, the lobes 

 curved downwards and pointed, with the odges irregularly notched ; in a lateral 

 view (PI. XXIII. f. C'T) the lobe appears rather dilated Ijefore the apex, convex. 

 The sternite (PI. XXIV. f. 3) is membranaceous laterally, the mesial lobe is sub- 

 truncate, trapeziform, with the edges somewhat rounded. The harpe (PI. XXXII. f. 8) 

 consists of a submesial ridge cm, which is deeply curved twice and distally raised 

 to a flattened process, which curves basad and somewhat resembles the process 

 of titch ; the dorsal process jmI is short and broad, and beset with rougii warts, 

 which bear each a short bristle. 



?. The eighth tergite (Pi. XVI. f. 8) is short, broadly sinuate, the sinus 

 ronnded, the sides projecting, rounded. The vaginal orifice (PI. XVI. f. 9) is 

 surrounded by two folds ; the postvaginal plate is broadly rounded.

The species is generally larger than bilineata, but it varies in size ; it is easily 

 distinguishable from bilineata by the longer wings and the black midtibia and long 

 spurs, besides the structure of the end of the abdomen.

c??. The tyjie of this species is a ? which has only one leg iefc out of the 

 .■lix, and this is a foreleg without tarsus. The specimen agrees in the shape of 

 the eigjjth abdominal tergite well with luuhilosa, not at all with bilineata : the 

 vaginal jilate we have not dissected out, for fear of breaking the rather old and 

 brittle specimen. In colour the individual comes very near umhilosa, differs, 

 however, in the following points : the forewing, which is much less elongate than 

 in unilalosa, bears three sharjily marked dentate lines on the disc, eipiidistant from 

 each other and from cell and the postdiscal, indistinct, line which begins at the
