prodiu'eil, biiirler angle (.-oraiik'ti'ly rounded ; D- of hiiuhviug in or near neutre, 

 seldom fur below centre. Clasper without friction-scales ; penis-sheath without 

 armature. 



Larva iusufficienth' known : green, grannlose, two longitndiual white side- 

 stripes, the lower not very distinct; head (triangular?) with pink side-stripe; 

 horn short, pink. — Food-])lant : Saccharum ! 



Hab. Indo-Malayan and Aethiopian Regions. 



Four species. 



Very near Leptoclanis in structure, but distingnisiied from that genus as well 

 as Poli/ptychus and Clanis by the paronychinm being short-lubed and the hinder 

 angle of the forewing being rounded. The sexual armature is of the same type 

 as in Clanis and Le/Aoclanis ; the butf vein-streaks recall the creamy veins of 

 Leptoclanis. 



The fom- species form an interesting series as regards the development of the 

 maize-yellow area of the forewing. This streak is, in lincata, confined in basal 

 half to the cell, being limited behind by M ; in emittcns it lies within the cell and 

 behind it ; while in the two African species it lies behind the cell, being limited 

 in front by vein M. 



In the colour of the thorax and head f mittens (India) agrees with ni'innanni 

 (i\fv'ca), and lineata (India) with aj'ra (Africa).
