margin, strongly angled ontwards on the median vein ; second from costa at three-

 grey-edged spots ; fringe concolorous. 



Hindwinys : with costal area pale ; inner line obscure ; a wedge-shaped rust-

 ochreous streak along vein 5 ; another patch towards base, and a third towards 

 inner margin ; outer line bluntly angled beyond cell and sinuous to iimer margin,

 marginal line of dark grej'-edged lunules from upper tooth to below lower tooth ;

One ? from Lombok, 20U0 feet, May and June 1896 (Fruhstorfer). 



Distinguished by the central fascia being entire, not interrupted across the 

 middle and so forming a costal and inner-marginal blotch.

Expanse of wings : 16 mm. 



Four $S from Batchian, March 1892 (Doherty). 



Hindmargin of forewings entire, of hindwings with short teeth at veins 4 

 and 7. 



A single $ from the same locality has both wings above and below and the 

 whole body dark smoky leaden-grey, the lines and cell-spot blacker. This I 

 propose to call 



ab. plumbea.

 middle. 



Underside white, the forewings suffused with pale fuscous, the cell-spot show-
