a moderate fleshy-i-ed longitudinal streak from base along fold to 

 apex, becoming whitish at apex, interrupted just before middle 

 by a spot of dark fuscous, and very broadly above anal angle; a 

 dark fuscous spot anterior to and above first spot, posteriorly 

 followed by an elongate streak of fleshy-pink to end of cell, where 

 it meets another fuscous spot ; a more or less obscure fuscous 

 spot immediately beyond; all markings somewhat obscured by 

 general groundcolour : cilia fuscous, mixed with dark reddish and 

 with a tooth of whitish at apex. Hindwings bright orange, 

 becoming broadly fuscous round apex, and narrowly along hind- 

 margin; veins sometimes outlined with fuscous; sometimes the 

 whole of wing is obscured with fuscous.

 Fore wings elongate, moderate, rather broad, costa gently arched,

Peltophora bugramma, Lower. 



(Trans. Roy. Soc. S.A. 1894, p. 99.) 



I have seen a specimen of this species wherein the whole of the 

 apical area of forewings from the curved fascia at |- is dark 

 fuscous, excepting a few elongate streaks of groundcolour near 

 hindmargin. The hindwings are somewhat paler than the type.
