CLANIDOPSIS. 207 



latter sinuate, with the lobes obtuse ; sternite with a broad, 

 triangular, mesial lobe, which is somewhat constricted at the 

 base. Clasper sole-shaped, without friction-scales, apical half 

 of internal surface hairy, the hairs pointing proximad, basal 

 half smooth, deeper concave ; harpe represented by a rather 

 weak mesial fold, which is longitudinal in position, ending 

 in a flat spatulate process which curves ventrad ; there is 

 no subdorsal basal tuber culate lobe as in Clanis. Penis - 

 sheath weak, without armature.

Imago. — <£$. Upperside reddish-brown ; dorsum of thorax 

 dark brown ; fore wing with a pale, irregular, indistinct 

 submarginal band ; hind wing with two indistinct postmedian 

 and prominent submarginal and marginal dark lines. Under- 

 side of fore wing with three, and of hind wing with two, 

 postmedian lines. 



For details of genitalia see fig. 48 B, C. 



The insect resembles very much the species of Clanis in 

 colour and pattern. As in Clanis phalaris, there is no black 

 streak behind cell on underside of fore wing nor a black 

 basal patch on upperside of hind wing. Mid- and hind tibia 

 are greyish- white on upperside. Expanse : £ 76-92 mm., 

 $ 96 mm. 



Hab. W. Himalayas, where eggs and larvae were discovered 

 and bred by Col. J. D. Campbell, D.S.O., RE., at Mussooree, 

 in 1932, at about 7,000 feet elevation. 



Egg. — Elongate -ovoid, very large for the size of the moth ; 

 surface smooth and dull ; colour green. 



Larva : — 



1st instar. Head round, of greater diameter than body ; 

 body cylindrical ; horn short, stout at base, tapering gently 

 to a bifid tip, each arm of which bears a short white bristle ; 

 colour of head and body green, horn black with the base and 

 ventral surface green. 2nd instar not recorded. 3rd and 

 4£h instars. Head triangular, with a short process rising from 

 the apex of each lobe ; body nearly cylindrical, of less diameter 

 than head ; horn short, thick at base, tapering sharply to 

 a point ; colour of head dark green with evenly-spaced
