between apex and oblique fuscous discal shadow, whicli latter is bounded 

 proximally by a pale, ill-defined, slightly curved line, there is a patch of pale 



half-moons. Hind wing ferruginous red, not yellow as in S. ericen ; distal 



margin broadly brownish black, abdominal margin fawn ; in the reddish area a 

 blackish discocellnlar dot and a discal blackish double line, the two lines being 

 united from R' backwards, forming a black transverse patch ; outside the outer 

 line a row of pale dots, the first distinct dot being placed below R' ; the 

 proximal edge of the marginal border is formed by a narrow line, which is only 

 distinct posteriorly, where the border is shaded with grey. 



Underside burnt-nmber colour, densely shaded with purplish sepia, disc 

 variegated with ferruginous red. Forewing ornamented with a number of very 

 prominent, nearly white, more or less luniform spots between cell and apex, three 

 of them being placed between SC^ and SC^ ; a similarly coloured prominent line 



from near cell towards hind angle. Hiudwing with a distinct blackish brown 



line starting from middle of costal margin and reaching hiudmargin at tip of SM^ 

 excurved anteriorly and posteriorly and incurved centrally ; a postdiscal row of 

 pale dots corresponding to those of npperside. 



Genitalia : The two processes of the tenth tergite converging, touching one 

 another at apex, ventrally rounded-dilated in apical two-fifths, the tip itself 

 pointed. The processes of the tenth sternite slender, most nearly resembling 

 those of X magna Fekl. (1874), proximally armed on its npperside with a trans- 

 versely placed tooth, beyond this tooth the process first bent downward, then 

 straight with a feeble downward curve distally, and finally gradually curved 

 upward. Harpe ending with an obtuse, free, compressed process. Penis-funnel 

 on each side with a club-shaped, densely spiked process, the two processes 

 practically alike ; sheath of dnct with a row of five teeth at base of whip, 

 without armature on the opposite side ; whip with one tooth in proximal half 

 and two at apex.
