S . Differs slightly from the jirececliiig form in the outer margin of the forewing 

 being more convex behind midiUe, the first discal line more curved, the stigma 

 indistinct, the hindwing more rounded at apex and less sinuate before anal angle. 

 Hook of harpe rather longer. Further material may possibly show that these 

 differences do not hold good, or that the Indo-Chinese individuals belong to this 

 subspecies, the Blalayan specimens to the j)receding.

LXVI. POLIODES gen. nov.— Typus : roseieoriti.'i. 



c? ?. Tongue very thin and weak. Genal process prominent, globose. Pal|ius 

 very small, not visible from above, first segment very short, joint ojien, third 

 segment not concealed. Antenna comparatively long, segments dilated dorso- 

 laterally, compressed ventrally, grooves deep, proximal edge of groove raised, hence 

 proximal surface of segment larger than distal surface ; ciliae shorter in ? than 

 in cJ, the lateral expansions a little shorter, and the segments ventrally less 

 compressed, otherwise the antennae of the sexes not essentially different. Tibiae 

 sjjinose, hindtibia with few spines ; sjiurs short, one pair to hindtibia ; first segment 

 of hindtarsus half the length of the tibia, not longer than segments 1 and 2 

 together ; claws large, paronychinm present, but ventral lobe absent, pulvillns 

 reduced, small and narrow. Alxlominal tergites spinose all over. Distal margin 

 of forewing scalloped ; D'' of hindwing not or little shorter than D-, at least twice 

 as long as D', SC^ and R' not or very shortly stalked. (Uasper and eighth tergite 

 without friction-scales.

Wings, iippevtiidi'. Forewing grey, disc palest ; a lino crossing M at M-, 



curved jjroximad in front; an obtusely triangular 2>atch at costal margin at end of 

 ceil, ]ialer in middle, followed behind by some ochriiceons scales ; a discal, strongly 

 dentate line, almost parallel to outer margin, faintly convex, black ; hinder margin 

 rather densely, rest of wing more s])arsely, shaded with black scales ; a marginal 

 patch W — M' black ; a patch at internal angle whitish grey ; liasal area almost 

 without black scales ; an inconsjiicuons grey line extends from apex obliquely
