S ? . Paler tlian reratomioules, the dorsal lines of the abdomen continuous 



as in gi.danensis ; the black apical line of the antenna very short. Forewin"' : 



costal spots vestigial ; the most distal one of the snbl)asal lines running alono- M 

 to base of R^ discal and postdiscal lines decidedlj' straighter than in ceratomioiilcs, 

 not dentate between St'"' and R-^, the fifth line near]}' as heavy as in the allied 

 species, but almost straight ; the feebly marked submarginal line straighter than 

 ill ccratoiiiioides, not following the curve of the discal margin so obviously as in 

 that species ; distal margin even, not undulate, without distinct internervular 

 sjiots : the pale discal sjiace broader before inner margin than in ceratomioides, 

 Icing posteriorly somewhat widened and rounded. On the underside the ochraceous 

 tawny or butf narrow postdiscal zigzag space of the forewing of ceratomioides 

 much broader in u:>/lohotes. 



cj. Tenth abdominal sternite somewhat shorter than in ceratomioides; the 

 harpe slenderer ; the process of the penis-slieath much longer and narrower.

?. Vlo^e to eerutomioides. The dorsal lines of the abdomen converging basad 

 on segments 2 to 5. 



Wings, iijijierside. Forewing : the spot at apical fourth of costa vestigial ; 



the discal and postdiscal lines curved and dentate as in ceratom.ioidcs, but the 

 fourth line very distinct within the jiale area R*' — M-, the fifth line much less 

 hhvck, and vestigial to M- ; within the pale area there is an additional, feebly 

 nmrkcd line between the fourth and fifth ; outer margin evenly coloured, more 

 obli(ine and conseipiently longer than in ceratomioidei, very faintly luiduhite ; the 



interspaces of the lines paler than in that species. Iliudwiug : the pale discal 



and central areas shaded with brown, the band separating them narrower and 

 more dearly defined than in the allied species. 



t'ndcrsiile oi' wings more niiilurm in gruuiid-coldiii', the (ichraccnus and liulf 

 jiostdiscal 8(iace of forewing and the disc of liindwing rnsset-cinnamon, the disc 

 of the forewing without the reddish tint of the three allied species, the costal area 



us jiale as in crratiimioi<les. Forewing : five lines on disc, curving costad, the 



first reaching ISC''-', the second sto]ipiiig at >S( ''', the tliree others, of which tiie 

 middle one is faint, converge, and are continued as a single line frdui R' to .SC, 



ending in a spot. Hindwing : two parallel lines on disc, the proximal one 



crossing R" and M' close to cell, vestigial to costal margin, S-'^liaped, the seccmd 

 distinct only beliind, then continued to costa by a series of ner\-c-dots.
