than forewings. Forewings with veins 7 and 8 stalked, vein 7 

 running to hindmargin. Hindwings with veins 3 and 4 remote 

 at origin, 5 approximated to 4 at base. 



Nearly allied to Acropolitis, from which it only differs in the 

 palpi, which are arched upwards and appressed to the face, 

 rising nearly to the level of the crown, whilst in Acropolitis they 

 are straight and horizontally porrected. This difference is well 

 marked and apparently sufficient for generic distinction ; but I 

 have not been able to make a thorough examination of the 

 characters of this genus, for want of specimens.

$ ? . 12"-15". Head and thorax cinereous-grey. Forewings 

 cinereous-grey, irrorated and strigulated with blackish-grey ; 

 outer edge of basal patch represented by a black line from one- 

 hf th of costa to one-fourth of inner margin, somewhat angulated 

 in middle ; central fascia narrow, cloudy, dark grey, black- 

 margined, from costa before middle, reaching half across wing, 

 the black margins continued thence to meet inner margin (first 

 before middle, second in middle) as slender black lines ; a short 

 cloudy grey streak from middle of costa ; a cloudy grey triangular 

 costal blotch about three-fourths, black-margined, its apex 

 reaching more than half across wing, its margins thence confluent 

 and produced as a black line to anal angle ; a slender grey black- 

 margined streak from costa before apex to hindmargin above 

 anal angle. Hindwings grey, paler towards base, spotted with 

 darker. 



The above description is taken from the original types in the 

 British Museum, and is necessarily not quite complete, but I think 

 it is a sufficient diagnosis of the species. Walker's own description 

 is extremely cursory, and evades describing the markings at all.
