AVings, hfloir. Forewing with the orange-ta.wny ajiieal patch barely indicated, tirst 



line jnst proximal of base of SO' (fork), fifth line — the fonrth qnite indistinct — 



continned to tip of M', not interrupted or obsolescent behind R'. Hindwing : first 



line at lower angle of cell, not in cell, fonrth not angulate lietween R-' and M', 

 barely 3 mm. from tip of M'. Lobes of tenth tergite notched, not (ibli(|ncly ronnded ; 

 sternite with the mesial part dilated to a triangnlar, short and broad lobe.

cJ ? . Tongue with fringe. Pilifer with brush of bristles. Antenna one-third 

 the length of the forewing in c?, a little shorter in ?. Of the most distal double 

 line of the forewing the external one is much heavier than the proximal one ; the 

 former stops mostly at M', but is occasionally continned bej'ond this vein, curving 

 basad and ending at the marginal spot ; the inner line encircles spot M'', its posterior 

 portion is often very faint. The marginal area beyond this double line is tawny 

 or brown on the under surface, seldom of the same colour as the disc. Gronnil- 

 cdlour, and number and jmsition of lines variable individually ; the first line of the 

 underside of the hindwing seldom in cell, often well outside cell. 



S. Tenth tergite (PI. XXVI. f. 9) divided into two ronnded lobes ; sternite 

 pointed, triangnlar, or bell-shaped, rather variable in shape (PI. XXVI. f 9. 10. 

 11. 12). Dorso-apical lobe of clasper pointed, shorter than in t^peirhiim ; barpe more 

 strongly hook-shaped, about midway between the harpes of spcirhiiis and nmhoi itlcits, 

 not denticulate; [irocesses above penis-sheath long, grannlose. 



?. Vaginal plate (PI. XVIII. f. 17. 18) with a more or less prominent ronnded 

 .tubercle in front of the vaginal orifice. 



Larva green, bluish green when adult, covered with " paler short granular 

 s])ines," six side-bands on segments 4 to 11; head triangular ; horn straight, 

 spinose. Moore figures on the same plate a gallstone-yellow caterpillar with 

 seven re 1 side-bands and a curved horn. Is tliis really the same species?— 

 Food-plants : Stercidiiriaceiic. 



Pupa insufficiently described ; said to have a short exserted proboscis, which h 

 a mistake ; cremaster apparently long, narrow in side-view (Moore's figure).
