broader ring just beyond this and some creamy scales on the inner side 
the apex. Proboscis, clad entirely with dark brown scales. The yellc 
scales on the wing are much more numerous than on the wing of the femal 
and are much paler, being almost white. At the point of junction of su 
costa and costa, the costa is brown-scaled, beyond this there is first a lar< 
patch of pale yellow involving the first vein, followed by a short brown sic 
which is succeeded by another large pale yellow spot. Fore un<nn 
unequal, the larger unguis uniserrate. Mid and hind ungues equal % 
simple. ^ 
Occurrence. Described from two males and two females, one take 
m my bungalow at Kuala Lumpur, one in bungalow at Klang, and the oth< 
two bred from larvae. 
Remarks. Although the scaling of the wing, especially on the cost 
and fi rs t ong vein, differs in my types from the description and drawin 
m 1 heobald s Monograph, there can be no doubt they are M. Punctulat; 
f de specimens of males from which my description is drawn, differ a goo 
deal from the female, notably in the size of the yellow spots on the cost 
and in having an entirely dark-scaled proboscis. Still the male and femal 
were bred out from the same batch of larvae, and in spite of the difference* 
ia\e described them as male and female of one species.
