 truncate, feebly sinuate, slightly dilated at end ; steruite triangular, curved in side- 

 view, strongly convex below, apex obtusely pointed. Process of harpe horizontal, 

 cylindrical from middle to end, extreme end curved upwards and armed with teeth. 

 Dorsal margin of penis-sheath prodnced dextro-laterad into a rather long horizontal 

 process, dentate on the proximal side, the edge sinistro-laterally continued as an 

 oblique, slightly raised ridge, which bears some rather prominent teeth (PI. LVII.

(?. Upper and under surface of body and wings uniformly pale cinnamon- 

 rnfous, underside paler than upper. White lateral border of mesothoracic tegnia 

 continued to end of paljms. A darker cinnamon-rufous line on forewing, a little 

 nearer distal margin than cell, with a pale proximal border. Basal area of hindwing 

 olive-brown. External spur of midtibia shorter than internal. 



(J. Tenth abdominal tergite gradually narrowed, apex convex above, trnncate- 

 sinuate; upper surface of sternite transversely folded distally, apex rounded- 

 truncate. Process of harjie (PI. LIII. f. 3) compressed, short, elongate-triangnlar, 

 somewhat like the blade of a pointed kuife. Process of penis-sheath (PI. LVII.
