UEAPTERTGID^. 
The true U. picticaudata was described from a specimen in the collection of the late 
Mr. W. Wilson Saunders, received from Sarawak. It is described as being 22 lines {i. e. 
46 millim.) in expanse of wings, and is therefore 8 lines (or 17 millimetres) smaller in expanse 
than the N.E. Indian species ; it is further described as being yellowish white, as having 
deep-red fringes, subfalcate fore wings, two black-and-red spots at the base of the tail, and 
the top of its head brown — all of which characters readily distinguish it from U. primularis, 
and prove it to be mucli more nearly allied to U. multistriffaria. 
Urapteryx sciticaudaria. (Plate CXIII, fig. 5.) 
Urapteryx sciticaudaria, WaU'er, Cat. Lep. Het. xxv. p. 1480 (1862). 
Pale brassy stramineous : the primaries crossed by two oblique, widely sej^arated, and 
slightly converging golden-brownish bands, between which is a narrower and shorter band 
of the same colour • a fourth transverse nari'ow band or stripe crosses the disk ; it is, however, 
formed, unlike the others, by a combination of fine hair-like grey lines ; costa crossed 
1)y slender blackish hair-like lines ; a slender blackish marginal line ; fringe golden brownish : 
secondaries crossed by a single very oblique abbreviated central band ; a few hair-like grey 
lines form a second scarcely perceptible band across the centre of the disk ; a slender blackish 
marginal line ; fringe orange, with a narrow pale basal line ; a pale grey band across the 
base of the tail, on which are two oval spots, the anterior one reddish orange, the posterior 
(me black : abdomen and entire under surface, excepting the fringes of the wings, creamy 
whitish. Expanse of wings 60 millim.

Urapterj'x clara, Butler, Ann. 4- Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 5, vol. yi. p. 120. n. 18 (1880). 
Allied to U. jjodaliriata : wings white, sericeous, with the fringe red internally and grey 
externally : primaries triangular, the costal border crossed by fine black striations ; the 
central third of the wing enclosed between two slightly divergent golden-brownish stripes ; 
a slender line of the same colour halfway between them at the end of the cell ; a few fine 
scattered testaceous strife upon the subapical area : secondaries with the submedian vein and 
a stripe nearly parallel to it (running straight from the subcostal furea to the first median 
branch, and thence curving inwards to the abdominal margin) golden brownish; a few 
scattered striations of the same colour upon the disk and a streak of it above the tail, limited 
externally by a grey-and-black line and a dot of the same colours ; tail distinctly shorter and 
wider than in U.podaliriata, and with red fringe. Wings below white, more or less cream- 
coloured; markings obsolete. Expanse of wings 57 millim.
