S ■ Body yellowish bntf, frontal process, a spot at insertion of antenna, third 

 segment of palpus and upperside of second, bases of abdominal segments, 

 Iipperside of fore- and midtibiae, of foretarsns and of first midtarsal segment 

 black, npperside of thorax also black, four spots on pronotnm and three streaks on 

 mesonotum pale buff. 



Wings pale rufous buff abode, submarginal spots somewhat ochraceous buff. 



Forewing : costal margin and vein SM- streaked with black, a pale buff costal 

 dot at base ; a black bar centred with jilumbeous situated beyond middle of cell 

 produced distad upon M, an 8-shaped black bar upon cross-veins, centred with 

 plumbeous and white ; a black discal line almost parallel to distal margin, gently 

 carved, feebly angulate at R^, extending from costal to hinder margin ; outside 

 this line, separated from it by a narrow interspace, a line of plumbeous dots, more 

 or less confluent, placed upon black scaling ; veins black from this line to black 



distal edge; hinder margin thinly edged with black. Hindwing slightly paler 



than forewing, feebly washed with black at base ; a small but prominent black 

 stigma ; a black postdiscal line following the curve of the wing, but gradually 

 approaching the distal edge behind, veins black between this line and black distal 

 edge, posterior interspace almost filled up with black ; fringe creamy bnff. 



Underside paler than upper, forewing paler than hindwing. — Forewing : black 

 bar in cell and on cross-veins as above, but smaller and without metallic centres ; 

 black discal line thinner than above, not followed by a plumbeous line, black vein-
