112 LEPIDOPTEBA INDICA. 



Forewing, vein 12 ends on costa before the end of the cell ; cell less than two- 

 thirds the length of the costa; upper discocellular short, l)ut distinct, middle 

 discocellular slightly longer than the lower, vein 5 from helow the middle, 3 emitted a 

 little before lower end of cell, 2 from about the middle ; costa highly arched near the 

 base, then straight to the apex, which is sub-acute and somewhat produced, outer margin 

 oblique and somewhat convex, shorter than the hinder margin, hinder angle rounded, 

 but well pronounced. Ilindwing with the cell very long, reaching more than half 

 across the wing, vein 7 emitted a little before the upper end of the cell, discocellulars 

 and vein 5 faint, vein 3 emitted very close to the lower end of the cell, 2 from about 

 one-third before the end ; costa much arched near the base, apex somewhat produced, 

 outer margin eyen, very slightly convex, anal angle blunt, abdominal margin nearly 

 straight. Antennae short, club stout, straight, rather long, its tip blunt ; palpi porrect, 

 densely clothed with laxly set scales almost concealing the third joint, which is short, 

 slender and bluntly conical ; hind tibiae fringed and with only a terminal pair of 

 spurs, fore tibiae without epiphysis. 



Type, Pap'dio palsemon, Pallas, from Europe.

Imago. — Male. Upperside. Forewing yellow, markings brown, the base brown, 

 costal line also brown ; an outwardly oblique band before the middle, composed of two 

 somewhat quadrate, large spots joined together, the lower the smaller and somewhat 

 diffuse, and not reaching the hinder margin, the upper one against the costa, and from 

 it to the base of the wing the costa is broadly brown ; a large quadrate spot, 

 constricted at its middle, reaching from the costa, one-third from the apex, to vein 3, 

 its inner margin being just outside the cell, a somewhat broad marginal band, 

 somewhat squarely excavated towards the outer margin, opposite the lower end of the 

 large square spot. Hindicing dark brown, with a large discal pear-shaped spot, its 

 point running inwards and upwards, across the outer side of the cell end, a small spot 

 near the outer side of the discal spot ; both wings with marginal brown line and pale 

 grey cilia, becoming white on the hindwing. Underside. Forewing pale yellow, costal 

 line brown, the macular l^and before the middle reduced in size, the outer quadrate 

 spot against the costa paler than it is on the upperside, a brownish .sub-marginal short 

 streak from the costa, and another on the lower half of the wing. Hindwing pale
