We cite Bonuinghausen and Peters under this species, because or/in/it.s t-eems 

 to us to be the species referred to, not friptolemuti, which is apjiarently much rarer 

 in the province of Kio, if it occurs there at all. 



S ? . Abdominal yellow belts abbreviated, the yellow basal scaling restricted 

 to a transversal dorsal patch ; apical fringes also more or less yellowish ; sides of 



tergites almost black as in diff'ttsa.- Forewing much shaded with greenish yellow ; 



silvery mark forked, 3 to 3A mm. long. 



S. Harpe (PI. XLVI. f, 15) much stouter than in triptolemns, sometimes 

 sinuate nearly as in diffusa. Tenth segment see PI. XLII. f. 25. Penis-sheath see 

 PI. LIII. f. 20. 



Larva (fig. by Peters) assuming various defensive attitudes, imitating a snake ; 

 it throws the head so far back that the underside of the thorax, which is dark like 

 the rest of the under surface, becomes the upper.
