1226 CATALOGUE OF 



slightly truncated towards the tip of the costa and along the exterior 

 border, which is very obtusely angular in the middle; vitreous spot 

 a little smaller than that of the fore wings of the male and that 

 of the hind wings of the female. Female. — Antennas moderately 

 pectinated ; branches single, of moderate length. Abdomen very 

 thick, extending to three-fourths of the breadth of the hind wings. 

 Fore wings not falcate, hardly concave along the exterior border ; 

 vitreous spot round, larger than that of the hind wings, Hind 

 wings more rounded than those of the male ; vitreous spot sub- 

 elliptical, smaller than that of the fore wings, forming the pupil of 

 a large ocellus. 



This genus is nearly allied to Samia, but may be distinguished 

 by the form of its wings, and by the distinct vitreous spots.
