costal margin halfway down to the base; this costal streak is dilated before the end 

 of the cell; the hindwing has a fuscous costal patch in the middle, and lias the outer 

 half of the costal margin also more or less fuscous. 



The prothoracic lobes are not spotted ; the black dot on the mesothoracic lobe 

 is small; mesothorax with a black median spot. Dorsal black dots of abdomen not 

 or slightly larger than the ventral black dots. 



Antennae of the male without lateral grooves and tui'ts of hair, similar to the 

 antennae oi canaraica.

The forewing is more elongate than in plfKjhwta, the hinder margin shorter, the 

 cavity closer to the tip of vein \h. The joints of the antennae of tiie male have dee]i 

 lateral grooves, and tufts of long haira upon the ridges bordering the grooves. The 

 basal yellow area of the forewing is more extended than in plagiriota, especially at 

 the costal margin, the outer costal black dot standing 6 to 7 mm. from the base. 



We distinguish three suhsjiecies ^^i pmihicta , eacli of whicli varies individually 

 in the number and size of the submargiual black spots of the hindwing. K. J.

The base of the forewing and the thorax are much too bright yellow in Moore's 

 figures. The black submarginal spot before vein fi of the hindwing is the.largest of 

 the submedian row of spots, but the spot before vein 2 is the last to disappear.

Differs from producta producta in the thorax and tlie l)ase of the forewing 

 being much brighter yellow. 



A female from Palawan in the Triug Museum has the forewing sliglitly paler 

 than specimens from other localities, and the spot at the end of the cell is small ; 

 the discal black spots on the hindwing are somewhat reduced in size, and the 

 submarginal macular band is represented by three small spots, one before vein 6, 

 the other two before and beliind vein 2. 



The male has the forewing mostly mucli darker brown than it is in thtij'emale.
