i[iteru;il oue iu S, 7 mm. in ? ; chestnut, piler atnl somewhiit pinkish towards bust', 

 a large vinaceous-cinnamon patch expanded between costal margin and R^, extended 

 to distal margin between veins SC' and R', not between SC' and R- as in phalurix:, 

 the transverse lines not dentate ; a broad subbasal lino about .5 mm. from the base 

 of JP, distinct, another almost parallel with it a little distal of M-, indistinct, some 

 traces of lines between this and internal angle ; within the pale area there is a 

 large brown patch or cloud, representing two lines, situated upon the subcostal 



fork; another line between this clond and the apical patch. Iliudwiiig as in 



p/xdir/s, bat the basal area darker chestnut. 



Underside as iu pkalaris, tiie transverse lines of the forewing less distinct ; 

 the middle line of the hindwing close to the proximal line, the interspace partly 

 tilled up with scaling of the same colour as the lines. 



cJ. Tenth abdominal tergite fPl. XXIV. f. 1) very broad, apex very In'oadly 

 but not deeply sinuate, tlie two lobes slender, strong, ]iointed, curved downward, 

 forming: a houk, which is represented in side-view by I'l. XXIII. f. -5 ; steriiite 

 (PL XXIV. f. Ij rounded. The harpe consists of a curved subventral ridge 

 (PI. XXXII. f 7, cm), which is distally produced into a broad, strongly chitinised flap 

 with irregular teeth at the edge, the flap curving proximad ; the dorsal process pd of 

 the clasper is short and very broad, and bears scarcely any setiferous tubercles, the 

 few bristles at its edge being nearly all inserted in the usual way in punctures ; 

 the interspace between the harpe and the dorsal process is filled up witii very high 

 and very thin lamellae of the inner membrane of the ciasjier (only one c? seen) ; tiie 

 ventral edge of the clasper clothed with short bristles. 



?. The eighth abdominal tergite (PI. XVI. f. 11) strongly chitinised, long, 

 v«ry feebly bi-emarginate, jjrojccting, the angles strongly rounded, the sides convex. 

 Vaginal plate short, a short curved ridge in front and at the sides of the oriftce, 

 postvaginal part of plate truncate, with the angles strongly rounded and the sides 

 slanting (PI. XVI. f. 12).

?. We have recently received from Sierra Leone a ? which agrees essentially 

 with the type, thougli it is much larger. The species is not a typical Clanis, the 

 palpus Ijeing too small for that genus, and the sjjurs of the midtibia — the hindtibiae 

 are missing in both specimens — are too short. But in the absence of the J , the 

 upecies is best left where it was originally placed. The cross-veins of the hiudwiug 

 are transverse, not obviously oblique, D- is almost twice the length of D^ both the 

 upper and lower angle of the cell about 90 . Eighth tergite sinuate. Vaginal 

 plate (PI. XVI. f. 7; with an asymmetrical transverse fold before the oriflce, 

 produced into two long, slender, pointed lobes : postvaginal plate rounded-triangular 



Early stages not known.
