F'orewings ochreous white ; co.sta pale greenish; first line dark green, forming 

 two large and one smaller tooth ; discal mark elongated, bent, dark green ;

Several examples, all S c?, from the Khasia Hills. 



This species comes near riifofasciata INIoore, but is distinguished at once by 

 the darker scaling, and the very broad and distinct black fasciae of the 

 underside.

 margin of the black fascia of the underside is irregularly dentate ; the base of 

 both wings beneath is more largely suS'used with yellowish ; and the hindwings 

 beneath have a distinct black cell spot, which is absent in the allied forms. 



Several examples from S. Celebes.
