 forewing, the costa being longer and more regularly convex, the exterior

 vex in the middle, the exterior margin truncated from the middle me- 

 dian, the male on the upperside with a prominent glandular patch of 

 scales between the costal and subcostal veins, and with three tails, the 

 middle one being long the others short. Second joint of palpi much 

 longer and the third shorter and stouter.
