?. Paler than JfUflnraiif!, the lines in the basal half of the forewing above 

 barely vestigial, first discal line very obliqne, almost evenly curved from costal to 

 internal margin ; middle line of hindwing more proximal. Antenna grooved, with 

 prolonged ciliae. SC- and W of hindwing on a rather long stalk, D^ longer than 

 D^. The type of cytis is more pinkish than that of numosae, the forewing is 

 narrower, the blackish brown anal mark of the hindwing is much narrower, the 

 first line of the hindwing is a little more distal, standing beyond the cell below, 

 while it crosses the apex of the cell in numosae, and the double row of postdiscal 

 dots of iiumomc is replaced by a single faint line. Vaginal plate partly visible in 

 both tyj)e-specimens ; ridge in front of orifice slightly sinnate, without processes, 

 postvaginal part of plate mesially impressed longitudinally, broadly triangular.

(? ? . Tongue short and weak. Joint of palpus open. Antenna strongly 

 ciliated in both sexes, distinctly grooved in ? , the segments veutrally more or less 

 sinuate in side-view in S . Sj)nrs spinose, longer terminal one of hindtibia at least 

 half the length of the first tarsal segment, and twice as long as the shorter spnr. 

 Abdominal tergites spinose, rather densely so on the back. Distal margin of 

 forewing very slightly dentate, convex in ?, almost straight in c?, apex slightly 

 ])roduced, inner margin feebly emarginate distally, the angle distinct, more than 

 00 ■ ; D- of hindwing curved, not twice as long as 1)^, lower angle of cell acote. 

 Clasi)er and eighth tergite witli organ of friction. 



Similar to numosae aud/ulgurans, antennae more deeply grooved in both sexes, 

 longer in S , ventral line uneven (in side-view), hindwing shorter costally, forewing 

 with a single basal dot, first antemedian line evenly curved from costal to inner 

 margins, postdiscal line somewhat convex between R- and M-, more so in ? than 

 in cJ, entire ; anal patch of hindwing larger, closer to the margin. Midtibia with 

 an indistinct pale basal spot, hindtibia pale above, but not white. Sexual armature 

 (jnite different from that of /ult/uirins. 



S. Tenth tergite (PI. XXV. f. IG) very slender, narrowed to a jioint, cnrved 

 downwards, forming a short hook ; the sternite longer than broad, subtriangular, 

 with the sides gently rounded and the apex incised. Clasper reduced in size, with
