cJ?. Paljius short, obtuse. Wings in colour and shape like those of yaurae, 

 but less elongate, hindwing especially less acuminate, with the outer margin convex 

 and the anal angle not projecting. Spines of foretibia comparatively stouter than 

 in t/aiirai: 'dwXjiinititit (the ligure given of the foretibia by Smith, i.e., is not correct, 

 the row of spines not being widely interrupted, and further, the apical jirocess not 

 being a spine as represented, but a prolongation of the tibia). Hindwing paler 

 yellow than mjnanita, almost agreeing in colour with that of pfOserpi9ia. 



(J. Tenth segment (PL XLV. f. 4) essentially the same as in the other 

 species ; sternite much shorter and broader than the tergite, obtusely bout-shaped. 

 Harpe (PI. IL. f. I'.i) without free process, but notched just before end. Penis- 

 sheath as mjlacoj'aisciata.
