cj. Tenth sternite less triangular at end than in lineosa. Large scales of 

 clasper asymmetrical, the proximal side of each scale enlarged, longitudinally 

 folded or ribbed, darker than the distal side ; process of harpe (PI. LII. f. 15) 

 with indications of teeth. Penis-sheath almi.ist symmetrical, apex rounded in a 

 dorsal view; the right j)rocess somewhat widened at end, dentate (PI. LVII. f. 43), 

 the left process (PI. LVII. f. 44) vestigial only, there being but a few teeth on

S^. Midtibial spurs as in iniiuv. Thorax with a pale mesial band. Inter- 

 sjiaces between the dorsal lines of the abdomen pale. Forewing witii ciqhf lines 

 in outer half, third line from distal margin short, more or less undulate, abbreviated 

 in front, or here joining the preceding line ; the three proximal lines of the same 

 distinctness, or the middle one indistinct, which is generally the case when the 

 interspaces are very jiale ; intergradations between examjiles with j)ale interspaces 

 — hence the lines conspicuously marked— and more iniiformly coloured individuals 

 are numerous ; those prominently stri])ed individuals were described as distinct 

 {major) by Butler. Sometimes the forewing and body as green as in /lolln.r. The 

 width of the pale band on the hindwing is variable individually, and its njjper 

 portion is mostly narrower and less distinct in Sumatra and Horneo specimens.

 simple, not dentate, somewhat spoon-shaped. Pcnis-sheatli (PI. LVII. f. 4o) 

 asymmetrical, the right process (PI. LVII. f, 40) slender, jjaucidentate, the left one 

 broader, tongui'sha[)ed, dentate at the edges (PI, LVII. f, 47). The large scales 

 of the clasper almost symmetrical, not heavily folded.
