Male genitalia (Text-fig. 81). Uncus in the form of a crescent, the distal margin not excised ; 

 subunci long, curved, swollen at the bend, ending in a sharp point ; tegumen subtriangular ; 

 vinculum rather narrow, prolonged to form a long triangular saccus which bears long coremata 

 apically. Lower fultura very reduced ; valves subquadrangular, the upper process ending in a 

 gently curved point. Penis short, very robust, the apex obliquely truncate and widely open 

 dorsally. Uncus and distal part of the upper process of the valves covered with long fine hair.

Genus PHYTALA West wood 



Phytala Westwood 1851, Gen. Diurn. Lep. plate 77 ; Aurivillius, 1898 : 288 ; 1920 : 348. 

 Type-species : Phytala elais Westwood (I.e.), by monotypy. 



Eyes naked ; palpi scarcely projecting beyond the frons, second segment long, swollen, 

 clothed with adpressed scales, third segment very short, ovoid ; antennae a little over half the 

 length of the costa, club very gradual, poorly differentiated, fusiform ; g fore leg (fig. 82) with 

 tibia swollen slightly longer than the femur, tarsus unsegmented, tapering evenly, tibia and tarsus 

 bearing below two rows of spines ; mid and hind legs with similarly swollen tibiae, longer than 

 the femora and bearing two rows of spines. 



Secondary sexual character in the o* a. patch of blackish brown hair-scales at the base of the 

 inner margin of the fore wing. 



Wing venation (Text-fig. 267). Fore wing with vein 11 short and uniting with 12 (this is not 

 an entirely constant character ; in a specimen of P. elais catori which I examined, veins 11 and 

 12 run close together but remain separate right to the costa). 



Male genitalia (Text-fig. 83). Uncus crescentic, the posterior edge with a shallow notch ; 

 subunci long, curved, slightly dilated in the middle and from there gradually tapering to the 

 apex ; tegumen triangular ; vinculum fairly broad, prolonged to form a stout saccus ; the 

 small lower fultura fused to a fold of the base of the valves and closely sheathing the base of the
