fuscous. Forewings elongate, rather narrow, costa moderately arched, apex 

 round-pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded ; shining ochreous-yellow ; 

 a rather narrow dark purplish-fuscous basal fascia ; costal edge slenderly suffus- 

 ed with dark fuscous to near middle ; a more or less undefined fuscous terminal 

 fascia, anterior edge irregular, running from £ of costa to tornus : cilia pale 

 yellowish irrorated with fuscous and dark fuscous. Hindwings bronzy-fuscous, 

 sometimes posteriorly dark fuscous ; cilia pale fuscous. 



Two specimens, Maskeliya and Yatiyantota, Ceylon, in March (Pole, Green). 

 Very closely allied to some of the Australian species of the genus, yet apparently 

 distinct ; it differs from all by the rather narrow dark basal fascia, the Aus- 

 tralian species having either a broad fascia or else only the extreme base dark.
