part of fork one is a rounded black spot; hind wings pale 
whitish. Fore wings rather long, tip broadly rounded. 
Venation much as in A. nirvana (indica) , the radius strong- 
ly sinuate, radial sector nearly straight, median cell more 
slender than usual, a minute cell at base of fork two which 
is pedicellate ; hind wings much as in other species, the cub- 
ital fork slender, as in A. tricalcarata. Spurs 1, 4, 4, the 
subapical pair of hind legs rather small and close together, 
but plainly two. Male genitalia above much as in A. dis- 
tincta, but from beneath the claspers have the basal part 
very slender, not at all enlarged as in distincta; the penis 
has a large hump beyond middle, further from the tip than 
in A. nirvana, and the tip of penis, seen from below (or 
above) is slender and bifid. 
Fore wings 13 mm. long.

Type M.C.Z. no. 22677. 
Two females from Coimbatore, have fork two pedicellate, 
but no cell at base, a small dark cloud near upper end of 
anastomosis, hind tibia with but one preapical spur, may 
be the female of this species. 
Amphipsyche distincta Mart. 
A species agreeing in genitalia, head and thorax markings 
and in venation is common in Mysore, India. Martynov 
does not mention the front femora which in these specimens 
are plainly blackish, and show very prominently from in 
front. The wings of fresh specimens are very plainly green- 
ish. The female also has these black front femora, is 
smaller, the wings scarcely at all green, but the abdomen is 
green (at least when fresh) . The mesonotum usually has a 
dark stripe each side, and scutellum largely dark ; the brown 
on head as in male. The mid tibia are broadened as usual, 
there is a distinct, but sometimes minute, subbasal spur, 
and the apical spurs are simple, but inner much shorter than 
outer; hind legs with only the apical spurs. The venation 
is similar to that of the male, except that the radius, of 
course, is but little curved near tip, and the cross-vein from 
median cell to lower median vein is usually much nearer to 
the middle of cell, radial sector straight. The fore wing is
