shining black, with small, but conspicuous, orange-brown spots. 

 Legs : fore and middle moderate, hind very long, black, spotted 

 with orange as follows base and apex of femora, base of tibife 

 and a small spot about Imm.distad from it; basal joint of tarsus 

 orange, second brownish, third blackish, fourth brownish, fifth 

 orange-brown, blackish distally, claws brownish; tibial spurs as 

 long as first two tarsal joints. 



Abdomen (somewhat shrivelled and bent) fairly slender, 

 banded transversely with alternate orange and black, the black 

 predominating distally, the orange being reduced to small spots; 

 tip broadly truncate, orange, with short, black, hairy appendages. 



Wings: posterior border of forewing twice angulated, onqe 

 near middle of wing, very obtusely [middle posterior anyle) and 

 once more distally (angle of the falcate border); the part of the 

 border between this angle and the apex (falcate border) is very 

 slio-htly hollowed out, so that the wing is slightly falcate. In 

 the hind wing, there is only one posterior angle, the border 

 between it and the apex being irregularly waved. 



Costa pale brownish, all other veins whitish. Forewing 

 beautifully marked with numerous, irregular spots, some .serai- 

 transparent orange, some dark brown or black, and others dark 

 brown with golden centres; base slightly saffroned for about 

 3 mm. These spots are arranged as follows— along 8c and R, 

 nine spots, three, small, basal ones, then a larger, blackish, sub- 

 rectangular one 6 ram. from base; 3 mm. further on, a similar but 

 slightly smaller spot; 2 mm. further on, a slightly larger spot, 

 dark brown with orange-gold centre; 2-5 mm. further on, a 

 similar but narrower spot; a similar but more rounded spot sur- 

 rounding the radial brace; between these two last, a small rect- 

 angular spot with golden centre. All these spots just touch 8c 

 from below, but they lie, on the whole, well below R. Ptero- 

 stigma marked by an opaque, whitish, oval area surrounding a 

 small dark brown spot, also a somewhat concentric, blackish spot 

 between this and the last of tlie I'ow of radial spots. Between 

 R and Rs near apex, there are two, small, dark, squarish spots, 

 with orange-gold centres. Along Cuj + M.,, touching M, from 

 below, are four, orange-gold spots touched posteriorly with brown,
