Arhela tetraonis, Moore, P. Z. S. 1879, p. 41 1, pi. 34. fig. 3. 



Poena, May and July. 



Although Mr. Moore has described the male, he has figured a 

 female ; the abdomen of the male is thin, not more than l-jij in dia- 

 meter, being about half the diameter of the female ; it has a long 

 anal tuft, more than half the length of the abdomen, and the length 

 of the antennae of both sexes is proportionally equal, being more 

 than half the length of the abdomen. 



Expanse of wings, S lyij inch, 2 2 inches, as represented in the 

 Plate, which is an excellent representation of the female except for the 

 short antennae. It is not an uncommon insect in Poona.
