436 NOVITATES ZOOLOOICAE XXIV. 1917. 



base ; median shade sometimes obsolete, sometimes faintly traceable in grey- 

 brown, its costal mark midway between base and apex, its course anteriorly veiy 

 strongly excurved, passing considerably beyond the faint grey cell-spot, pos- 

 teriorly sinuous, close to the postmedian ; postmedian costal mark about 5 mm. 

 from apex, the course of the line conspicuous!}' indicated by small dark dashes 

 just in front of the veins, sometimes slightly connected by a verj^ fine grey 

 thread, always accompanied by some pale scaUng ; from R' this hne runs very 

 obMquely inward, reaching hindmargin about the middle ; a band of rather warmer 

 brown scaling just beyond the postmedian, another just proximal to the subter- 

 minal ; subterminal white, about parallel with termcn, forming a series of fairly 

 deep lunules, one or two subcostal and the two radial lunules filled in proximally 



with blackish ; terminal dots black, very sharp ; fringe unspotted. Hi7i(1- 



wing wi( li termen waved to subcrenulate ; median shade rather strong, except 

 at costa, well proximal to the cell-dot ; cell-dot strong, black ; postmedian line 

 little beyond the cell-dot, strong but fine, shallowly lunulate-dentate, becoming 

 weak at costa ; distal area nearly as on forewing, but with the proximal spots 

 of the subterminal line less dark. 



Underside sUghtly darker and more reddish or purphsh in tone. Fore- 

 wing with costal margin pale, dark-spotted ; cell-mark well developed, 

 rather elongate, placed between two approximated, nearly parallel dark -grey 

 lines, of which the distal is marked \\ith very small dashes on the veins ; two 

 faint dark transverse shades in distal area ; terminal marks rather more elongate 



than above, not quite so strong ; a fine pale hne at base of fringe. Hindwing 



with corresponding markings, the first line rather more proximally placed, some- 

 what bent on entering cell.
