Va?'. B. — Ground colour same as last two, but the dorsal band of 

 Var. A in Var. B is a broad band, one-third width of wing, of whitish 

 scales, interrupted and mixed with black, the outer and costal margin are 

 the same, but narrower, leaving the ground colour in only the middle of 

 the wing, forming a broad band from base to just before outer margin. 

 Palpi dull black, tips of scales greyish-black, sprinkled with lighter ; 

 under side grey. Head dark fuscous, scales very long, projecting well 

 above and in front of eyes in ihe form of ruffs. Thorax and patagia the 

 same, but more mottled with lighter fuscous shades. Fore wing magenta, 

 well sprinkled with whitish scales, these are more concentrated at outer 

 third, below costa, and at apex shading into and obliterated by whitish 

 and brownish fuscous scales. Costa from base to apex, alternate short 

 patches of blackish-brown and whitish scales ; this line is only on costal 

 nervule. Scales on dorsal margin, whitish or very pale grey, forming a 

 band extending upwards one-third width of wing ; upper margin irregular, 

 well defined and not gradually shading into ground colour. A conspicuous 

 dark brown spot at inner and outer third on upper edge of this band, and 

 a number of small spots of same colour touching dorsum, and three small 

 patches between the inner large patch and base ; other small patches 

 of dark brown occur, making it appear mottled. Before outer margin 

 ground colour shades into light grey and fuscous, the latter forming a 

 narrow line, succeeded by a paler one, and beyond this another dark line 

 just before cilia. The latter is dark fuscous, mottled with lighter dots, 

 and at anal angle pale fuscous.
