The head and a large patch on the thorax are dark fulvous brown 

 in the male, chestnut in the female. 



The antennae of the males are scarcely pectinated beyond the 

 middle ; there are twenty-two rays on each side. The apical half 

 simple, with only numerous short setse at the extremity of the joints. 

 The antennae of the female are quite simple and setaceous. The veins 

 of the wings are arranged as in the last species, the ocellus of the 

 fore-wing resting on the outside of the transverse veinlet closing the 

 discoidal cell, and being divided into two parts by the outer branch 

 of the postcostal vein*. 



Sp. 32. Saturnia (Urota) Sinope, Westw. S. alis anticis 

 integris, posticis breviter caudatis; anticis fulvo brunneis fasciis 

 duabusalbis singula strigam fuscam includente, punctoque parvo 

 ovali media alba, posticis livide puniceis puncto medio albofas- 

 ciaque pone medium alba.

The wings of the male are entire and nearly straight ; along the 

 apical margin they are buff-brown or pale reddish brown, with a 

 transverse white bar before and another beyond the middle, each edged 

 on each side with a thin black line, and bearing a black streak along 

 its middle. In the middle of the wing is a small oval white spot 

 edged with black. Hind-wings livid pink, with a white spot in the 

 middle, followed by a white fascia : apical portion of the wing fulvous 

 brown, produced into a short, broad, somewhat triangular tail, obtuse 

 at the tip. 



Beneath similarly marked, but with all the colouring dull. Body, 

 legs and antennae fulvous brown. 



The antennse are rather short, and consist of forty-eight joints, each 

 joint with one short ray on each side ; the rays set on obliquely and 

 directed backwards, the tips of the rays being turned forwards. 



There are no traces of palpi to be perceived. The veins of the 

 fore-wings are arranged as in the typical Saturnia.

 nigricanti maculis Jlavis ornato ; abdomine albo apicibus seg- 

 mentorum flavidis ; serieque dorsali laterali et ventrali punc- 

 torum nigrorum, pronoti margine antico fiavido.

 l'Afriq. Austral, ii. p. 601. 



The texture of this insect, as described by Boisduval, is " mince et 

 delicate " ; the same author states that it is " tout autant une Liparide 



* Mr. Angas has represented this species in his plate of Amazoolu Lepidoptera, 

 figure 12.
