POmTIINM. 123 



Genitalia, seen from the side, uncus quadrate, the upper angle projecting, rather 

 acute, the lower rounded, retreating ; branches long, slender, tapering, not hooked. 

 Clasps with a basal tubercle on the upper edge, the end enlarged and bilobed, 

 resembling a pair of pincers, the upper thickened beyond the base, bent down to meet 

 the other, but with the tip recurved upwards, the lower lobe regularly curved, 

 tapering, acute. (Doherty MS., de Niceville, Butt, of India, iii. p. 45, footnote.) 



Expanse of wings, ^ If*^, ? l^V inches. 



Habitat. — Burma, Malay Peninsula. 



Distribution.— The type female, which is in the B. M., came from Singapore. 

 Doherty records it from Myitta, Tavoy District ; de Niceville from the hills north of 

 Papun, Thoungyin Valley, and the Donat Range, all in Burma. We have not seen a 

 male, and therefore give a copy of Doherty 's figure.

Eyes naked. Forewing, vein 12 ends on costa well beyond upper end of cell; 

 11 emitted at one-third before end and at once anastomoses with 12 ; 10 from apical 

 fourth of subcostal ; 9 from basal half of 7 ; 8 from apical third of 7 ; 5, 6 and 7 from 

 upper end of cell, so close together as to practically obliterate the upper and middle 

 discocellulars ; 3 and 4 from the lower end of cell ; costa of wing slightly arched, apex 

 rather acute, outer margin nearly straight in the male, convex in the female, hinder 

 margin straight. Hindwing with vein 7 emitted rather near to the upper end of the
