Genitalia. — Clasp large, tapering to each end, each clasp quite separate from its 

 fellow, and with the two divisions into which the clasp is divided only distinct at the very 

 end. The dorsal portion of the armature consists of two lateral portions, connected across 

 the actual dorsum by a comparatively narrow and featureless strip of chitin, less reduced, 

 however, than in Celastriaa [Lycsenojysis) ; each side has a rather long process clothed 

 with hairs, and of by no means simple structure ; attached to the base of this is a smooth 

 hook, so articulated as to have considerable freedom of movement ; the base of the hook 

 is more or less swollen, and extends somewhat transversely to the dorsal process, then 

 with a bend, which may be a right angle, the rest of the hook extends more or less 

 parallel to the dorsal process on its dorsal side. It is the size and form of this
