(284 ) 



mostly long, spiniform, but weak : spiues at the edges also long and weak. Distal 

 margin of wings entire, apox of forewing emarginate in ? , often also in S ; SC- and 

 B} of liindwing on a /om/ stalk, R- from near centre of cell, D- not or slightly 

 carved ; frennlutn and retinacnhuu present. Clasper without friction-scales. 



Larva (in Mus. Stettin) : head large, rounded ; thorax and anal segments 

 strongly tuberculated ; horn long, straight, densely tuberculated. Green, a dorso- 

 and a ventni-lateral series of purplish brown s])ots, fourth segment almost entirely 

 I)nrple-brown, this belt produced backwards dorsally, forming a large patch on fifth 

 segment, a large divided dorsal j)atch on tenth. 



I/ab. Indo-Malayan snbregion. 



One species. 



The spinose tibiiie, the structure of antenna and pilifer, the stalked veins SC- 

 and R' of the liindwing and the absence of the first jiair of hindtibial spurs are an 

 aggregation of characters which is not found elsewhere. 



241. Daplinusa ocellaris. 



*Daphiiiim aeelhiris Walker, t.c. (Borneo). 



c? ? . Pattern of forewing similar to that of the species of j\far/tm/)ci ; the two 

 tawny marks within the patch near hinder angle corresponding to the blackish 

 brown spots of Marumba ; the homology of the discal and postdiscal lines encircling 

 these spots is obvious. The same applies to the hindwing and the underside. 



c?. Tenth abdominal tergite (PI. XXV. f. 27) carinate above, curved downwards, 

 the curved ]iart deeply cleft, each lobe bluntly pointed, very strongly chitinised at 

 end (black), the sides dilated laterad and vcntrad before the apical hook ; sternite 

 membranaceous, vestigial. Clasper (PI. XXXII. f. 16) reduced in size, dorsal 

 margin bent ventrad, ai)ex rounded, inner surface deeply concave ; from this cavity 

 ])rojects distally the end of the harpe in a similar way as in I'objptijchas contraria, 

 proximal jiart of harpe large (j-b). Penis-sheath without external armature, apex 

 more ])roduced on one than on the other side, the projecting part often subglobose. 



?. Eighth tergite of abdomen scaled, cleft to the base. Proximal part of 

 vaginal plate convex mesially, the proximal and lateral edges of the orifice raised 

 into a smooth strongly chitinised ridge which is feebly sinuate ; postvaginal i)art 

 of plate membranaceous, scaled. 



Early stages see above.

cJ?. This form varies individually in the tint of the ground-colour and the 

 distinctness of the markings, some individuals being nearly entirely ochraceous 

 tawny, others being more clayish wood-brown.
