This may be a complex species, the occmrence in the Philippine 

 Islands, therefore, is not quite certain. The specimen figured is 

 Snellen's weU-preserved holotype, a female, labelled ''Celebes, Mak-

Figures 342, 688 



Male, 10 mm. Head pale fuscous olive, lateral margins mth 

 narrow white streaks. Palpus vnth median segment white, a sub- 

 basal and a subapical blackish ring and anterior edge black; terminal 

 segment black suffused tawny anteriorly, a white median ring open 

 anteriorly, tip whitish. Thorax black, pectus whitish. Abdomen 

 black. Legs black with broad white bands. 



Forewing broadly truncate, dilated, apex strongly rounded, termen 

 moderately rounded, little oblique, almost vertical. Dark purplish 

 fuscous, moderately strewn with white scales forming ill-defined 

 markings, especially on median third. Basal patch with few scales, 

 only indicating a faint circle, by far not reaching base and edges of 

 wing and centered unth a more distinct, slightly inwards-oblique oval 

 ocellus; a larger, distinct vertical ocellus in disc before 2/3 and above 

 middle, more pointed below, almost connected by a vertical fascia 

 with 3/5 of dorsum; these white markings preceded and followed by 

 irregular and faint bands of white dusting, at 2/5 and before 3/4 

 of wdng, respectively; these two fasciae originating below costa, but 

 anterior faintly connected with it; vertical above, below middle 

 moderately converging; above and below middle of disc these bands 

 irregularly connected with median ocellus and fascia; more than termi- 

 nal fifth of vdng velvety black, this area dilated downward and incom- 

 pletely divided by three pointed projections of ground color, opposite
