S ¥ . Distal margin of forewing clee])ly sinnate, apex more produced tlian in 

 the other species; angle R- more acnte in S S than in most ? ? ; interspace between 

 autemedian and discal lines green like iip])('r.side of head and thorax, contrasting 



with the rest of the wing. Hiudwing narrow, costal margin rather obviously 



dilated near base. 



c?. Tenth tergite rather short and broad, not mneb longer than the sternite, 

 sinnate ; sternite acuminate. Clasper with numerons rather small friction-scales ; 

 barjie nearly as in dokerti/i in lateral aspect, less curved. Penis-sbeath : the two 

 jiroeesses of nearly the same width, the left much longer than the right, both 

 dentate, and situated upon a short common stem as in Giganteopalpu^ mirabiUs, 

 i.e., the mesial apical part of the sheath narrowed and jiroduced distad befcire giving 

 off tlie two jirocesses. 



Early stages not known.

c??. Easily recognised by the semitransparent discal spot SC'"'— H' of the 

 forewing which stands midway between outer margin and base of R' and is 

 generally followed by a smaller whitish s])ot ; and by the broad pule ochraceous- 



rnfous band of the bindwing, which nearly reaches costal margin. Forewing 



augnlate at R=, not quite so deeply sinuate as in b/is/ris. The S is paler than the 

 ?, and has mostly a broader band to the liiiidwing. In some cases tlie brown 

 colour of the bindwing above is much reduced. 



<S. Tenth tergite midway between those of malaijana (PI. XLIV. f. ~'5) and 

 doherliji (PI. XLIV. f. 27), sinuate ; sternite curving upwards, acuminate. Clasper 

 with numerous rather small friction-scales ; harpe about as long as in ilohct-tiji 

 (PI. IL. f. :j), twisted and somewhat sjiatnlate. Right and left jirocesses of 

 penis-sheath of nearly the same width, broader than in dohertiji.
