c? ? . A magnificient species, intermediate between strenua and fasciatus on 

 one side, and achemon on the other, but nearer achemon. Hiudwing above from 

 base to disc, and forewing below (distal marginal border excepted) red. Palpus 

 without wliite spot. Brown patch of mesonotum as large as in achemon. Brown 

 triangular jiostdiscal costal patch of forewing above continued backwards and 

 joining the triangular patch which stands at liinder margin near angle, the band 

 thns formed thinnest between R' and M', where it is often interrupted ; proximally 

 of this band there is a well-marked brown line, with the interspace pale. External 

 si)incs of first protarsal segment not prolonged. R^ of hindwing before centre of 

 cell, D-'' longer than D^ 



(J. Tenth (ergite slender, ending in a sharj) point. Clasper broad ; a large 

 patch of bristles filling up the greater part of the apical half of the inner surface ; 

 harpe of the safellitia-ty\>e, not essentially different from that of .^tateUitia Uaion. 

 Process of penis-sheath acnto, about twice as long as the sheath is broad.
