Heliceschna uninervulata Martin, Cat. Coll. Selys, ^schn. pp.

This species, described originally from Borneo, occurs also 'in 

 Lower Burma. (1 c? , coll. 'E. B. Williamson.)

1 $. Mt. Batu Lawi, 24.V. 11. 



The arculus in the fore-wings of this specimen is of a primitive 

 character. The upper part is very oblique and readily seen to 

 be formed by M^^,^, M^, which separate before M^ is met by the 

 scarcely thickened cross-vein which forms the lower part. 



The upper part of the hinder- wing is much less oblique. 



The costal, subcostal, median, and cubito-anal spaces in both 

 fore- and hinder-w^ing are opaque, dark brown to a level of about 

 one cell before the arculus ; the anal area of both wings tinged 

 with orange-brown to about the same level. Beyond the nodus 

 the wings are tinged with orange-brown almost to the apex. 



The ventral plate curves upwards at its apex and carries about 

 8 small irregular spines. Its ventral surface has a deep conical 

 depression to receive the points of the terebra^. 



Abd. 62 mm., h. w. 63 mm. Pt. 2 mm. 



(The measurement given by me {loc. cit.) of 70 mm. for the 

 hinder- wing was an error.)

1 ^ . Kakus, vi. 13. 



His {loc. cit.) suggests that the next species, separated from 

 plagiata on account of the colouring of the wings of the female, is 

 identical with it ; and that T.j^lagiata has two forms of female, one 

 with a costal stripe and transverse band of brown on the wings
