c? ? . Allied to Pnchygonia. Antenna very lang, reaching beyond fork SC*-'' of 

 forewing, filiform, slightly iucrassate in ? before the long and gradually tapering 

 hook, cnd-segiuent about three times as long as broad. Palpi rounded in dorsal 

 and in lateral view, ascending above eye, closely appressed to head. Frons slightly 

 crested ; side-scales forming a kind of eyebrow. Spines at edges of abdominal 

 segments elongate, only two rows present : scales at ventral edges of tergites pro- 

 longed, especially in cj, anal mesial tuft smooth, truncate, conical, not fan-like, 

 ventro-lateral scales prolonged to two rather thin but prominent tufts in both 

 sexes ; seventh sternite of ? transverse, short, apical edge straight and entirely 

 spinulose. Foretibia externally and hindtibia above and below with long scaling, 

 first hindtarsal segment also with long scales. R' and M' of hindwing on a short 

 stalk ; hinder angle of forewiug obtuse, not jirojecting backwards. 



{?. Tenth segment simj}le, not divided, narrow and long, sternite longer than 

 tergite. Clasper (PI. XLVII. f. 15) long, narrow, with almost parallel sides, 

 curved upwards, apex rounded, dorsal margin with very long scaling jiroximally, 

 inner surface densely clothed with long stiff litiirs ; harpe short, ending in a short, 

 slender and slightly clubbed process. Penis-sheath with a spatulate, densely 

 dentate process, as shown by PI. LIII. f. 43. 



? . Vaginal plate feebly chitinised excei)t at edges, triangular, short. 



Early stages not known.

(S ? . The sexes differ obviously in the forewing, which is much more variegated 

 in the ? than in the J. The scries of black dots on the abdomen, above, cor- 

 resjionds to the respective dots of Fac//i/(/oriia. The median interspace of the 

 forewing, which includes a distinct white black-edged stigma, is widened in front, 

 standing at right angles to the costa and reaching hinder margin at outer third; it 

 is generally white behind and fuscous in front, seldom all greyish. The orange 

 median band of the hindwing is dilated basad in front. The fringe and edge of the 

 wing are somewhat orange before anal angle, reminding one of Eupyrrhoglossum 

 sagra. The basal area of the forewing, below, exclusive of a black triangular 

 patch, and the basi-abdominal area of the hindwing are orange. 



S- Tenth segment bent downwards, forming an obtuse angle with the rather 

 elongate ninth segment (PI. XLIV. f 8) ; tergite obtuse at end, which is faintly 

 hooked in side-view ; sternite long, narrow, produced into a thin point which curves 

 downward, npperside of sternite concave, (he groove gradually narrowing distallv,
