<??. The two liues of the abdomen are sometimes partlj' fused together; 

 occasionally there are onl}- a few brown scales separating them here and there. 

 Lines of forewing as in ij!nr</iiiifii, bnt line 4 nearly always distinct, interspace 

 between 4 and Ti not quite so pale as tliat between 'i and 4, which is more or less 

 silvery ; line .5 always heavy, 6 thin bnt distinct. The pale band of the hindwing 

 varies in tint and distinctness ; it is sometimes very faint. 



C'ramer's figure of drancws applies to this species ; the type specimen is 

 preserved in the Triug Museum (ex coll. Felder from coll. Lennep) ; the single 

 white abdominal line drawn by Cramer is excusable, as the lines are very incom- 

 pletely separated in the specimen, being, in fact, merged together except here 

 and there ; the hindwing has no distinct pale band; both hindwings are repaired. ■ 



(J. Tenth segment as in margarifn, the sternite with an obvious mesial tooth. 

 Process of harpe feebly curved, spatulate in dorsal view. Band-like armature of 

 penis-sheath broader than in margarila and longer, the teeth less prominent, the 

 process at the right side rather short. 



Larva black, with a row of yellow spots on each side of the thoracic tergites ; 

 a series of seven eye-spots of about the same size, the first two with black centres ; 

 horn long and slender. 



Hah. Oriental Region.

 Solomons, where one should expect it to occur.
