Eyes naked ; palpi scarcely projecting beyond the frons, second segment long, swollen, clothed with adpressed scales, third segment very short, ovoid ; antennae a little over half the length of the costa, club very gradual, poorly differentiated, fusiform ; g fore leg (fig. 82) with tibia swollen slightly longer than the femur, tarsus unsegmented, tapering evenly, tibia and tarsus bearing below two rows of spines ; mid and hind legs with similarly swollen tibiae, longer than the femora and bearing two rows of spines. Secondary sexual character in the o* a. patch of blackish brown hair-scales at the base of the inner margin of the fore wing. Wing venation (Text-fig. 267). Fore wing with vein 11 short and uniting with 12 (this is not an entirely constant character ; in a specimen of P. elais catori which I examined, veins 11 and 12 run close together but remain separate right to the costa). Male genitalia (Text-fig. 83). Uncus crescentic, the posterior edge with a shallow notch ; subunci long, curved, slightly dilated in the middle and from there gradually tapering to the apex ; tegumen tria
