of all the -wings are clouded ■with bluish grey, and the dark transverse bands of tho

Expanse, c? 45, 5 48 millim. 
" Un peu plus petit que son congdnere bifasciafus, dont il diffil-re par scs ailes inferieures en 
dessous saupoudre'es le long du bord marginal d'atomes gris violatre, et par ailleurs d'une 
teinte brun uni, traversee par deux bandes maculaires sinueuses a peine perceptibles, allant 
du bord costal au bord anal. On ne voit ces bandes, qui ue se distinguent prcsque pas de la 
couleur du fond, que grace aux lignes fort peu accentuees elles-memes qui les limitent. De 
plus la frange n'est pas entrecoupee comme chez bifasciatas." (Obertkiir, L c.)

Genus SATARUPA. 
Satarvpa, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1865, p. 780 ; Watson, Proc. Zool. Soc. Loud. 
1893, p. 46. 
■• Palpi stout, densely pilose, erect, projecting in front of the head ; third joint minute, conical. 
Antennas moderate. Body very stout. Legs slender ; femora slightly pilose beneath ; hind 
tibia; pilose at the side and beneath ; middle tibiae with a pair, and hind tibine with two 
pairs of apical spurs. Wings — fore wing acute ; costa nearly straight, exterior margin 
oblique ; hind wing rounded exteriorly in the male, angled at the apex, and in the middle of 
exterior margin of the female." {Aloore, I. c.) 
" Antennoe : club slender, bent into a hook, terminal portion long. Palpi porrect ; third joint 
short, bluntly conical. Fore wing : outer margin strongly oblique, inner and outer margins 
subcqual ; cell less than two thirds the length of costa ; discocellulars inwardly oblique ; 
vein 12 reaching costa before the end of cell ; vein 3 shortly before end of cell, twice as far 
from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 twice as 'far from end of cell as from base of wing. Hind wing 
much elongated, outer margin sinuate ; vein 7 well before end of cell, twice as far from 8 as 
from 6 ; vein 3 immediately before end of cell ; vein 2 twice as far from base of wing as 
from end of cell. 
'• In the tyjje species vein 5 of the hind wing is well developed, but it is barely traceable in the 
other species of the genu<. 
" Hind libiie with two pairs of spurs. In the male the hind tibiffi are fringed along their upper 
edge, and the inner side of the tibiae is clothed with long coarse recumbent hairs. 
" Closely allied to Daimio, from which it may be separated by the shape of the T\ings, especially 
of the hind wing, b)' the much greater length and more decided hook in the terminal portion 
of the anteunal club, and by the scaling of the hind tiblLC of the male. 
" Entirely confined to Asia." {Watson, 1. c.)
