r u this genus the inner margin of tbc anterior wings is longer than tin- outer margin, thus agreeing 

 with the two following genera, but it possesses a distinctive character in the position of the second median 

 nervule to the anterior wings, whicb has its base close to that of thy upper and remote from the lower 

 median nervule, or more than twice as far apart from that nervule as from the upper one.

the female, as found in Ceylon, is thus described by Mr, Moore Fore wing with 

 broader medial band, three subapical spots, fee spot between tipper median and radial, and 

 sometimes another between tit*- upper and middle medians/' * 



Mr. Moore also describes the Ceyloiiese males as having " either one or two very small 

 oblique sttbapical spots," but there is no trace of these in any of the specimens from the 

 Mala)' Peninsula which I have examined. 



The larva as observed in Ceylon is described a* " pale green, white speckled; head blmrk 

 bordered. Feeds on Zinziberoeea?." f
