(?. Tongue very short and weak. Paljjns rather stout in S. Antenna thin, 

 soiucwhat setiform, in S prismatical, traussection triangular ; in ¥ cylindrical, with 

 the seriated ciliae rudimentary. Tibiae not spinose ; hindtibia with two pairs 

 of spurs, long end-spur about as long as the second hindtarsal segment ; pulvillus 

 and paronychiuni absent. Abdominal tergites with spiniform underscales besides 

 larger ones, the spines at the apical edges very nnmerons. 



S- Tenth tergite broad, sides slanting towards ape.x, the latter sinuate, with 

 the lobes obtuse (PL XXIV. f. 21) ; sternite with a broad, triangular, mesial lobe, 

 which is somewhat constricted at the base. Clasper (PI. XXXIII. f. 8) sole-shaped, 

 without friction-scales, apical half of internal surface hairy, the hairs pointing 

 proximad, basal half smooth, deeper concave ; harj)e represented by a rather weak 

 mesial fold, which is longitudinal in position, ending in a flat spatulate process 

 which curves ventrad ; there is no subdorsal basal tnberculated lobe as in Clanis. 

 Penis-sheath weak, without armature. 



? not dissected. 



Early stages not described ; larva on poplar. 



Hab. N.W. India. 



One species. 



Easily distinguished from Clanis by the absence of spines from the tibiae and 

 the absence of the pulvillus and paronychium, besides the much shorter tongne.

(J ? . The insect resembles very much the species of Cla)ii.i in colour and pattern. 

 As in Clanis phalaris there is no black streak behind the cell on the underside of 

 forewing, nor a black basal patch on the upperside of the hindwing, but the latter 

 wing has at least one distinct line in the outer half. The mid- and hindtibiae are 

 greyish white on the upperside.
