 accidental. The outline of the forewing is also not quite the same in the other 

 examples. 



fj. Tenth tergite similar to that of inuus, the mesial lobes longer and more 

 acutely pointed ; the processes of the sternite less convergent, longer. Harpe 

 (PI. XLVI. f. 18) reaching beyond middle of clasper, cylindrical, slightly 

 curved, left one acnte, right one obtuse. (Uasper with a patch of long- 

 spines at ventral margin near middle of harpe. Penis-sheath without external

(? ? . Somewhat resembling small s]^e(^imens of calliome/Hw. Forewing not 



dentate, or the teeth vestigial only, strongly concave below apex and more convex 

 in middle than in calliotnenae ; a black band crosses the wing just proximally of the 



silvery spot. Hindwing nearly as in parce, the black anal mark heavy, tlie 



space outside it grey. The ? much more grey than the c?. 



c?. Tenth tergite (PI. XLIII. f. 2. 3) half as long again as broad in a dorsal view, 

 the sides curved downwards, apex broadly sinuate, the lobes very short, a trace of 

 a mesial lobe ; sternite concealed by the tergite, divided into two long, slender 

 processes which lie along the inner surface of the tergite. Harpe (PI. XLVI. f. 17) 

 sliort, slightly curved ujjwards at tij) ; ventral margin of clasj)er densely spinose.
