Clasper slender ; dorsal mare-in slightly concave from liasp to apex ; no patch of 

 bristles on innerside ; harpe (PI. XLVIII. f. n) : basal portion lon<r, process of the 

 safe/l/tia-type, bnt shorter and less curved. Process of penis-sheath short and 

 obtuse. Hindtarsus and hiudtibia normally scaled. 



Early stages not known. 



The larva tignred by Bnrmeister, t.c, is perhaps that of ohliquus. It is brown, 

 and has a white baud on the tenth segment.

(??. Cramer's figure is bad, but the pattern of the wings leaves no doubt 

 that the iigure was meant for this species, which does not seem to have been 

 recognised (from actual specimens) as distinct since Cramer. It is mixed up 

 in some collections with mtelUtia. 



Upperside of body and wings darker olive-green than in satellitia. First 

 abdominal tergite without white fringe, second far less grey in middle. White 

 spot of jialpus small. First segment of hindtarsus as long as tiliia, and also 



as segments 2 to 4 together; midtibia not distinctly white above. Lines of 



forewing, above, more pronounced than in satellitia, but very weak or altogether 

 obsolete between M' and M- within the pale longitudinal space, which is generally 

 of a pinkish tint ; stigma barely vestigial ; median costal semicircle prominent, 

 bnt not heavier than u])i)er portion of first discal line ; subapical costal patch 

 triangular ; snbmedian posterior patch trapeziforiu, narrower behind than It is 



generally in mtellitia. Ilindwing : a distinct distal line running costad from 



outer ujiper corner of square patch, interspace following this line not shaded 

 with black, jKjstdiscal line more or less separated from the submarginal band, 

 which is narnjwer and moje sharjily defined i)r(i.\imally than in satellitia. 



Umleriiidc as dark as in natdlitia. 



$. Tenth tergite as in satellitia, but less pointed. Clasper rather short, 

 without jiatch of bristles on iijner surfaces ; harpe as in adamsi and J'asciatus 

 with two jirocesses (PI. XLVIII. f. 7, lateral view; f. 8, dorsal view); the 

 process ciirres])ondiiig to that of .satellitia. short and wii much curved, partly 

 concealed in lateral aspect by a broad, obtuse, compressed lobe. 



Larva not known to science. Bonninghausen relets to it as being green, 

 and very different from i\w cater]iillars of .mtellitia and aiirliemoliis, and feeding 

 on Jmnieua. it is worthy of sjiecial note that this .A^<.s/(v/^/-fee(ler litis the same 

 liarpe as fa.iriatux, also a .lu.fsieaa-k-A'.\\fy ; judging IVom this we may expect 

 the larva of adaimi to occur also on Jussicuu.
