sinuate, D 3 shorter than D 4 ; R 2 of .hind wing in or before 

 centre, D 3 longer than D 4 . 



" (J. Tenth segment simple (fig. 88 A) ; tergite densely- 

 hirsute, not compressed, slightly curved, apex rounded ; 

 sternite almost as long as tergite, much broader, compressed, 

 curved, higher than broad, apex transversely ribbed. Clasper 

 broad, dorsal and ventral margin convex ; a patch of slender 

 friction-scales ; harpe small. Penis-sheath peculiar ; a very 

 large flap covers the apex of the sheath dorsally, armed with 

 two or more long teeth at the edge ; this flap is connected with 

 the sheath by a short subcylindrical stalk, and breaks easily 

 off ; beneath the flap the sheath is dilated at the left side, 

 subglobiform, and armed with short conical teeth. 



" $. Vaginal plate narrow at end ; orifice large, edges 

 raised " (Roths. & Jord., 1903, p. 593).

Imago. — <£$. Colouring like that of Deilephila hypoihous 

 and D. placida ; head, thorax and abdomen uniform brown 

 except for a dark, triangular dorsal patch on each of the last 

 two segments of abdomen. Fore wing deeply excised below 

 apex ; the deep brown discal area not extended to subcostal 

 fork ; antemedian band with an obvious pale proximal border- 

 line ; a dark postmedian patch with angulate outer edge ; 

 a curved line across apex as well as an oblique fine ; apex of 

 hind wing evenly rounded, feebly pointed at SC 2 , uniform 

 dark brown with a pale submarginal line near anal angle. 

 Underside. : fore wing with a pair of rather heavy discal lines, 

 the interspace between them more or less filled in with brown ; 

 grey submarginal area rather well defined proximally by a brown 

 line. Expanse : 82-84 mm. 



<£. Harpe truncate (fig. 88 B) ; dorsal margin of clasper 

 strongly convex. Penis-sheath (fig. 88 C, D) : lobe with long 

 slender teeth all round ; globose dentate part of sheath large.
