c? $. External characters of colour and pattern vary geographically and are discussed under 

 respective subspecies. 



o*. Genitalia (Text-figs. 44, 45). Arm of sacculus in form of a slender rod, densely spined 

 and rasp-like on its dorsal surface, spiralling ventrad apically, separated by a semi-ovate excava- 

 tion from a small digitate, setose basal process. Vesica with two cornuti, each subequal in 

 length to width of aedeagus. 



$. Genitalia (Text-fig. 46) . Sclerotized part of lamella postvaginalis in form of a horizontal 

 band with a slight projection medio-posteriorly and a strongly sclerotized, raised lobe medio- 

 anteriorly ; colliculum one and one-half times as long as broad. Bursa copulatrix lightly 

 sclerotized in two small areas, one near colliculum, the other anteriorly ; remainder mem- 

 branous and weakly ribbed. 



Two subspecies are described, distinguished by colour and pattern. 

 Examination of the male genitalia of the limited material available suggests some 

 degree of geographical variation in the shape of the rasp-like arm of the sacculus.
