npper three somewhat concave distally, the others straight, continnons, the series 

 snddeuly ^ or 3 mm. more distal behind R^, last one or two partly bordered white 

 distally ; admarginal line dark tawny, bordered white at anal angle ; fringe with 

 some white scales midway between veins ; onter edge of wing, taken as a whole, 

 triangnlar, produced into a blnut triangular tail at R', and into a blunt tooth at M-, 

 aual angle rounded, not produced. 



? Win^s above yellow buff, a little more ochraceons towards base. Forewing : 



bar D^ thin, brown, median bars more or less vestigial, sometimes blackish, in the 

 same position as below ; discal line either shining through from below, or slightly 

 marked by brown scales ; postdiscal bars M'- — SM^ brown, biconcave distally if 

 well marked ; submarginal bars concave proximally, interspace between them and 

 edge of wing dark brown, or tawny, this colour mostly extending to vestiges of 



discal bars SC^ — R' ; outer edge of wing slightly convex. Hindwing : postdiscal 



and submarginal bars wider apart than in 6, therefore the rings formed by them 

 larger, centres of wings assuming sometimes a creamy tint, posterior submarginal 

 bars often obviously bordered white distally. 



Underside almost uniformly bnff or creamy buff, very much less particoloured 

 than in 6, the creamy buff specimens have outside the discal line two brown 

 patches on forewing, one between R' and M', the other at internal margin, and 

 one patch in centre of hindwing ; tail broader than in i . 

 Length of forewing : <S , 29 — 31 mm. 

 „ „ ? , 33—35 mm. 



Clasper produced into a slender, long, gently curved apical hook, which is not 

 scaled and bears on the outside a tooth which points distad ; tenth tergite rounded, 

 slightly sinuate mesially ; penis thin, a patch of teeth about 1| mm. before end 

 dorsal ly on the left side, one dorsal tooth just before end. 



Xeuration : D^ of hindwing reaching M in both sexes about midway between 

 M' and M-.

tawny postdiscal spots R' — R' joined to the tawny basi-discal area, but in this case 

 the veins R' — R' black, except immediately at cell ; no tawny submarginal spots
