c??. Midtarsns witli the spines of the fourth row prolonged, bnt not so mnch 

 as in Elibia. Yi? and 'SV of liindwing less close together than in the preceding 



species, D' not being longer than D^. Forewing with four gre^' lines, which 



are the proximal borders of taivuy-olive bauds ; between the two discal lines 

 there is a feebly marked brown zigzag line. 



S . Tenth sternite sinuate in distal aspect. About sixteen large friction-scales, 

 rounded-truncate, broad at end. Process of barpe short, not dentate. Apex of 

 penis-slieath asymmetrical, both processes dentate.

c?. Under surface far more reddish than in dolichoides. R- of hindwing before 



centre of cell, D^ being much longer than D* ; SC- and R' on a stalk. Forewing, 



above, similar to that of i/olichoiilefi, but lines in basal half quite indistinct, and 

 second discal line more distal, ending at apex of wing, there being no sei)arate 

 olilique apical line. Hindwing similar in colour to that of Elibia dolichus. 



Tenth tergite long, narrow, slightly curved, not compressed ; apex truncate ; 

 sternite compressed, boat- shaped in side-view, apex transversely ribbed above, 

 rounded-truncate in dorsal aspect. Clasper with large friction-scales ; harj)e as 

 in Elibia, short, broad, obtuse, not produced into a dentate process (PI. XLVIII. 

 f. 11). Penis-sheath (PI. LIV. f. 22) almost symmetrical in dorsal aspect, with 

 a longer right and a shorter and broader left process, both dentate.
