  apex 
  of 
  this 
  plumule 
  is 
  absent, 
  but 
  more 
  certainly 
  by 
  the 
  genital 
  

   appendages, 
  i.e., 
  the 
  differently 
  -shaped 
  penis. 
  From 
  all 
  the 
  remaining 
  

   Oxyptiline 
  species 
  it 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  separated 
  easily 
  by 
  the 
  formation 
  of 
  the 
  

   palpi." 
  The 
  species 
  in 
  this 
  genus 
  are 
  particularly 
  characterised 
  by 
  

   the 
  remarkably 
  hairy 
  larvae 
  and 
  pupas 
  ; 
  in 
  the 
  abundant 
  larval 
  armature, 
  

   the 
  hairy 
  warts 
  remind 
  one 
  almost 
  of 
  the 
  specialisation 
  to 
  be 
  seen 
  in 
  

   Arctiids, 
  and 
  other 
  highly-developed 
  larval 
  wart-structures.

   observes 
  that 
  preserved 
  larvae 
  and 
  pupa? 
  of 
  Capperia 
  leonuri 
  

   received 
  from 
  Staudinger 
  cannot 
  be

  Imago. 
  — 
  Forewings 
  of 
  a 
  deep 
  chocolate-brown, 
  a 
  white 
  longitudinal 
  

   discal 
  streak, 
  a 
  white 
  blotch 
  at 
  end 
  of 
  cleft 
  surrounding 
  discal 
  lunule 
  ; 
  

   two 
  white 
  transverse 
  lobal 
  lines, 
  the 
  inner 
  wide 
  on 
  upper, 
  but 
  more 
  

   or 
  less 
  obsolete 
  on 
  lower, 
  lobe; 
  the 
  outer 
  finer, 
  apparently 
  angulated 
  on 
  

   upper 
  lobe, 
  where 
  it 
  extends 
  into 
  fringe, 
  and 
  usually 
  distinct 
  on 
  lower 
  

   lobe 
  ; 
  the 
  costa, 
  from 
  outer 
  lobal 
  line 
  to 
  apex, 
  narrowly 
  white; 
  fringes 
  

   of 
  the 
  ground 
  colour, 
  with 
  two 
  white 
  dashes 
  on 
  outer 
  margin 
  towards 
  

   apex, 
  and 
  two 
  more 
  white 
  dashes 
  in 
  cleft, 
  representing 
  extensions 
  of 
  

   transverse 
  lines 
  in 
  upper 
  lobes, 
  a 
  small 
  white 
  dash 
  at 
  apex 
  of 
  lower 
  

   lobe, 
  and 
  a 
  larger 
  white 
  patch 
  in 
  enclosed 
  portion; 
  the 
  fringes 
  of 
  inner 
  

   margin 
  of 
  wing 
  pale 
  grey, 
  with 
  two 
  black 
  dashes, 
  one 
  just 
  before, 
  and 
  

   one 
  beyond, 
  the 
  middle. 
  Hindwings 
  almost 
  of 
  ground 
  colour 
  of 
  fore- 
  

   wings, 
  but 
  rather 
  greyer; 
  fringes 
  slightly 
  paler, 
  a 
  shiny 
  apical 
  patch 
  in 
  

   those 
  of 
  1st 
  and 
  2nd 
  plumules 
  ; 
  the 
  3rd 
  plumule
