Pert3''s fignre is bad ; the descrijition applies doubtless to this species, not td 

 smcrinthoides, as the nuderside of the forewiiig is said to be brown in the middle. 

 The dirty-green colour changes easily into ochraceons ; in Perty's fignre the fore- 

 wings are of this colour. Boisduval's description of smerintkoides is based on a tawny 

 specimen of ckloroptera. The sexes are similar, but the space between the ante- 

 median and discal lines is on the whole broader in the ? than in the cJ, and the 

 lobe of the costal margin of the hindwing is rather more prominent in the S. 



cT. Tenth tergite with the sides concave, apex sinuate, lobes rounded ; sternite 

 about twice as long as the tergite, curving downward, sharply ])ointed, margin 

 elevate in middle (PI. XLIII. f. 4. o). Right harpe jnst reiiching to end of clasper ; 

 left harpe shorter (PI. XLVI. f. 9) : both cylindrical, acuminate, horizontal, not 

 much curved ; clasper straight above, rounded below and at apex ; patch of friction- 

 scales distinct. Penis-sheath (PI. LIII. f. 21) with a short, obtuse, apical process 

 which is densely dentate at tlie end on the upperside. 



$ . Vaginal jdate small, trapezoidal, ajiical edge somewhat angled in middle ; 

 orifice in a large cavity covered in front and at the sides by a high, thin ridge.

S ? . Differs from rhloniptcni in the following points : 



Forewing with a rounded lobe at M' besides the lobe R', no tooth at M-, hinder 

 angle, therefore, more rounded ; a sjwt of white scales behind costal margin about 

 midway between fork and apex, a larger sulimargiual patcli of similar ujiper scales 

 between R' and R^, both spots not very distinct. Black border of hindwing dentate 

 before R^, and more or less also between R^ and M-, almost vanishing behind M', 

 here replaced by the groiuid-colour of the wing. Distal nnirgin sinuate before anal 

 angle. Forewing IjcIow without blackish discal area. 



S. Process of penis-sheath thinner, somewhat triangular, twisted, dentate only 

 at edge. CIa8j)er with sliort friction-scales, which are concealed in ventral view by 

 a crest of prolonged ordinary scales as in carinata.
