of the foiTwing, tlie |in's;'iii'(' of a small creamy white stigma on tlie forewiiig, 

 the absence of the first anal spot from the hindwing, and the rosy tint of the 

 underside separate crintata at a glance from the other Manimha. Antenna of c? 

 less than one-third the length of the forewing, thinner than in dijras; in ? grooved, 

 the seriated basal ciliae of the middle segments nearly as long as the segments. 

 Tarsi very stout. 



S- Tenth tergite (PI. XXVI. f. 2) deeply divided into two slender lobes which 

 are pointed ; sternite triangnlar, rather broad, not acute, slightly curved upwards 

 at the ape.K, covered with minute granules. Clasper (PI. XXXIV. f. Is) ditFering 

 essentially from that of the allied species in the dorso-ajiical lobe being jwinted 

 and curved upwards and in the ventral lobe being broad and rounded ; harpe not 

 so strongly curved as in i^pcn-hius and (hjrtix, not dentii'ulate, reaching nearer to 

 the end of the clasper. 



?. Vaginal plate (PI. XIX. f. 1) with a long, truncate or slightly sinuate, 

 process in front of the orifice, which process becomes visible on removal of some 

 scales from the apex of the seventh sternite ; at each side stands a dentate flap {I).

(J ?. Antenna shorter and thinner than in dijraa. A much more conspicuously 

 coloured insect than dyras, xpen-hiiis and cristata. Underside : a large area between 

 hinder angle and R^ of forewing, and a submarginal patch before anal angle of 

 hindwing, of an orange-tawny colour. 



S. Tenth tergite (PI. XXVI. f. 1) deeply divided, the lobes slender, obliquely 

 rounded at end, not pointed ; sternite a low ridge, mesial lobe short and broad, 

 almost vestigial. Dorso-apical lobe of clasper more curved downward than in 

 ■fperchius and di/ras ; harpe not dentate, long, resembling that of amboinicus. 



?. Antevaginal ridge of vaginal i)late (PL XIX. f. 2) sinuate in front of the 

 vaginal orifice, the lobes rounded ; from each side of the ridge extends a longitudinal 

 fold towards the eighth sternite.
