blotches or raised tufts on veins, tending to form transverse strigiila- 

 tion; a dark brown-purplish suffusion on base of costa, edged by 

 ferruginous tawny; a transverse series of two large rounded, raised 

 ferruginous-tawny tufts, mixed with a few long white hair-scales, one 

 tuft above dorsum, another in cell, edged posteriorly in fold by a dark 

 purple suffusion; two similar tawny tufts, on upper edge of cell at 

 1/3 of wing length, and on base of vein 10, respectively; some three 

 smaller tufts along vein lb; two large white tufts, on upper and lower 

 angles of cell, respectively, upper largest; a sometimes ill-defined 

 slightly outwards-oblique transverse streak of pale ground color, at 

 about 2/7 of wing, followed by two broad and one narrow blackish 

 transverse bands, last marginal, in apex; numerous smaller, variably 

 colored tufts scattered all over the wing. Cilia pale grey, mixed and 

 barred with darker grey except in tornus, a black interrupted subbasal 

 hue. 



Hindwing with vein 2 from middle, 3 from beyond middle, 4 from 

 angle, 5 and 6 separate; pale ochreous, irregularly marbled with 

 bronze grey, veins bronze purple, costa and dorsum with a purple 

 gloss. Cilia golden fuscous, with a pale basal line. 



Female genitalia: Lamella antevaginalis rectangular, rather nar- 

 rower and much longer than in G. diascopa. Anapoph^^ses longer 

 and more slender. 



Material examined: Luzon, Mt. Makiling (Baker), 1 9, holotype, 

 genit. slide 5268; 2 9, paratypes (USNM). Mindanao, Lanao, plains,
