middle of termen, opposite apex and on end of costa, respectively, 

 into three parts; upper of these narrowly elongate and slightly curved, 

 other large and rounded, lower largest; these three blotches are 

 interconnected along termen and are ornated with brilliant silvery- 

 purplish dots, arranged before termen; lower patch with two dots; 

 upper with two smaller dots in a horizontal series; a well-defined 

 zigzag whitish line from 4/5 of costa, edging this terminal area an- 

 teriorly. Cilia (imperfect) dark fuscous, mixed with whitish, with 

 a pale basal line. 



Hind wing purplish black; a whitish, outwards-oblique oval ocellus 

 below costa before middle, reaching to middle of disc, a narrow whitish 

 inwards-oblique dot on costa before apex, continued by a short 

 strigula across mng, inwards-obUque briUiant bluish purple; a narrow 

 subterminal whitish line, from well below apex, parallel to termen as 

 far as its middle, sinuate inwards thence, to tornus; a vertical brilliant 

 bluish-purple strigula from costa before apex to 1/3 of termen, nar- 

 rowed below. Cilia whitish, basal half black except pale basal line, 

 apical half with suffused black patches, opposite apex, middle of 

 termen and tornus, respectively. 



Male genitalia: Small and compact. Tegumen rounded. Uncus 

 broad, truncate, with two brushes of long hairs. Socii are repre- 

 sented by small folded lateral angles of uncus. Vinculum large, 

 rounded. Saccus apparently a pointed conical median process, 

 directed rostrad. Valva small, narrowed, top bilobed, lobes concave, 

 with sparse short bristles. Aedeagus rather short, not sclerotized, 

 bulbous, on a narrower stalk, extreme base dilated again, with a 

 coiled sclerite. 



Material examined: Luzon, Mt. Makiling (Baker), 1 cT, holotype, 

 genit. slide 5172 (USNM). Probably allied with Brenthia quadri- 

 forella Zeller but quite distinct by three, instead of four, lobes of 

 the black terminal band.
