Primaries fulvous, apical half of wing and venation black ; there are a few white spots between costa 
and the end of the cell, some much larger ones beyond ; and marginal and submargiual series 
of white spots interrupted towards apex and inner angle. Secondaries paler fulvous, neuration 
and border to outer margin broadly black, marginal series of white spots complete, submar- 
giual incomplete. 
Head, thorax, and palpi spotted with white ; abdomen fulvous, spotted with white along the 
sides. 
The sexes do not differ in colour or markings, but the male has an open scent-gland just below the 
1st median nervule. 
Expanse 80-100 millim. 
Specimens from Central and Western China do not exhibit any material 
difference from those received from India. 
Mr. Elwes (T. E. S. Lond. 1888, p. 300) observes that D. genutia is found 
in Sikkim up to an elevation of 5000 feet throughout the Avhole year. In 
Western China it does not seem to occur at altitudes exceeding 2000 feet. 
" Larva cylindrical, black, with a pair of black fleshy filaments on the third, sixth, and twelfth 
segments, the first pair longest ; each segment with one interrupted white streak along its

gated yellow spots, the posterior edge of the segment having two parallel interrupted white 
streaks ; lateral band yellow, crossed at the middle of each segment by a black line ; 
abdominal line black ; head and feet black, ringed with white. Pupa somewhat cylindrical, 
posterior end hemispherical, anterior ending in two slight prominences ; bright green, with a
