" Differs from Prata23a \_=Cami'na, Hewitson] in the absence of both the tuft of hair on the 
fore wing and the glandular patch on hind wing of the male. Fore wing broader and more 
regularly triangular in form ; yenatiou similar : hind wing comparatively narrower and more 
produced hindward ; cell broader, the subcostal and median branches emitted further from 
the base. Type T. lonrjimis." {Moore, I. c.) 
'• Anterior wings subtriangular ; the costal margin moderately convex, the apex subacute, the 
outer margin moderately convex, the inner margin slightly sinuate. Costal nervure 
terminating on costa nearly opposite end of cell ; first subcostal nervule emitted near middle 
of cell, second about midway between first and third, third a Httle before end of cell, third 
and fourth bifurcating at about or a little beyond half the length of the third ; discocellular 
nervules subcrect ; first median nervule emitted at end of cell, second nearer to first than to 
third, third emitted at about two thirds from base. Posterior wings subovate ; costal margin 
obliquely convex to apex, which is rounded ; posterior margin obliquely rounded, prolonged 
in a more or less distinct angle at apex of second median nervule, and with two slender tail- 
like appendages situate respectively at the apices of the third median nervule and of the 
submedian nervure. Costal nervure extending to apex of wing ; subcostal nei-vules bifur- 
cating at about one third before end of cell; first and second median nervules with an 
apparently common origin a little before end of cell, third a little beyond middle of cell ; 
submedian nervure slightly curved outwardly ; internal nervure strongly curved inwardly. 
Body robust. Palpi porrect, the apex of the second joint not reaching the upper margin of 
the eyes." {Distant, 1. c.) 
Tajuria luculentus. (Plate XXX. fig. 13, d .) 
loJaus luculentus, Leech, Eutoinologist, xxiii. p. 38 (1890). 
Male. Light blue, finely dusted with black scales ; costa and outer margin of primaries to below third 
median nervule broadly black. Secondaries with two white-tipped black tails ; costa bordered 
with black, abdominal margin broadly whitish ; two black spots on outer margin towards the 
black anal angle, which has an orauge-brown lunule ; fringes white, chequered with black 
at extremities of nervules and preceded by a black line. Under surface pale greyish white ; 
primaries have linear discoidal spot and central transverse lines blackish ; submarginal line 
dusky : secondaries have a blackish discoidal bar and transverse wavy central lines ; there are 
also two blackish linear spots, one near base and towards costa, the other about the middle of 
inner margin ; submarginal line dusky ; a black spot at anal angle, and one between second 
and third median nervules, the first narrowly, and the last broadly, bordered with reddish 
orange. 
Female. Paler ; black border of primaries narrower over cell, disclosing a distinct black discoidal 
spot, beyond which is a whitish cloud. 
Expanse, S 40 millim., 5 44 millim. 
Occurs in July at Chang-yang, Central China. 
Allied to lolaus longinus. Hew.
