 dash extending to t. a. line ; basal line only indicated by a slight dark 

 mark on costa, surrounded by diffuse ochreous shading; t. a. line indis- 

 tinct in costal half of wing, indicated by two spots on costa, below basal 

 dash distinct, geminate, black, filled with ochreous, and bent inwards to 

 inner margin near base ; beyond t. a. line considerable ochreous shading, 

 especially along inner margin ; orbicular round or slightly oval, outlined 

 partially in black, with ochreous annulus and smoky central portion ;

 to t. a. line and preceded by ochreous shading; reniform large, constricted 

 centrally, the lower portion considerably broader than the upper, outlined 

 in black, with dark centre; a slight dark median shade angled at reniform; 

 t. J), line indistinct in costal portion, geminate, black, the inner line most 

 distmct, filled with ochreous, outcurved around reniform, almost touchmg

 inner margin ; space between it and reniform shaded with ochreous ; 

 several pale dots beyond on costa ; subterminal space even purplish-red, 

 with little ochreous shading ; s. t. line pale, wavy, crossed by two black 

 sharply defined lines above and below vein 5, reaching from outer margin 

 almost to t. p. line ; terminal space with less reddish than remainder of

Very similar in maculation to T^ aduixa Grt., but lacking the blackish 

 mark in subterminal area below vein 2, which is mentioned by Hampson 

 (Cat. Lep. Het., VII, 187) in his description, and is also present in a

 vein 5 are also not so clearly cut in the B. C. specimen?, tending to
