 on abdomen, the first reduced to a transverse line, barely vestigial in (i/jie, tlie 

 second smaller than the dark brown patch at its basal side, the third again more 

 or less linear. Abdomen below with the seventh segment grey, pro.vimal segments 

 with grey mesial patches ; side-tnfts tipped with white, last two often somewhat 

 ochraeeons. Yellow area of hindwing below reduced, not e.xteuding so close to

 Process of penis-sheath (PI. LVI. f. 45) shorter than in conjtha.-i, obtuse, dentate 

 at the pro-ximal aud distal edges : the teeth upon the sheath near the base of the 

 process very numerous, extending far proxiiuad, sometimes arranged into long rows ;
