median line evenl}' curvetl, first discal line ((nite straight, oblique, the other iliscal 

 lines i|nite indistinct, ajijiarcntly dentate as in numomr. tlie postdiscal line also 

 indistinct, indicated by vein-dots, an ill-defined russet snbmarginal patch between 

 SO* and M', a small j)atch of the same colour near hinder angle at inner margin ; 



anal patch of hind wing narrower than in numosae and rosea. Underside : discal 



line of forewing straight ; hindwing with a denticnlate postdiscal line, more or 

 less double ; discal line almost touching cell, more proximal behind and less curved 

 than in )ii///iflsac. Midtihia with white basal spot, hindtibia white above. 



Tenth tergite closely resembling that of corijndoni (PI. XXV. f. 15), being 

 very dissimilar to that olfnl^ia-aHs and rosea, flatter than in corifiidoiti, less curved 

 downward, and wider before the end ; the sternite also as in con/iidoiii, curved 

 upwards. No friction-organ. Clasper short (PI. XXXIV. f. 2) irregular in shape ; 

 a longitudinal fold dividing the inner surface into a dorsal and a ventral part ; the 

 harpe has a ventral ridge pe, which is denticulate and ends in a short hook {pvd) 

 jiartly concealed by the mesial fold. Penis-funnel (p-f) produced at each side 

 side into a short, pointed lobe ; penis-sheath (PI. XXX. f. 29) with a ventral patch

5 . Similar to subjectus in pattern : forewing more grey, hindwing deeper 

 brown. Apex of forewing produced into a lobe, distal margin slightly dentate, 

 concave in front and behind, hinder angle projecting, first discal line more oblique 



than in suhjirtus. Hindwing denticulate, fringe white-spotted below, with a 



brown-black anal mark which is thinner than above. 



Tenth tergite very broad, rounded, entire; sternite with a narrow, compressed, 

 l)ointed, mesial i)rocess, which is slightly curved upwards. Clasper short, irregular 

 in shape ; middle part deeply concave, with a hairy ventro-dorsal fold, the cavity 

 partly covered by a dorsal fold and the projecting edge of the non-concave apical 

 part of the clasper ; harpe ending in a curved hook which is preceded by a 

 triangular tooth. Penis-funnel produced at each side into a long process; 

 penis-sheath with a multideutate process at the edge curving inside.
