A second form of the female resembles the one above described as regards the ground- 

 colour and the brownish-grey markings ; the brown apical area on the primaries relieved 

 by four pale yellow hastate spots, somewhat deeper than the ground-colour ; a minute 

 greyish spot above the inner-marginal line, giving a faint indication of extension to the 

 apical area ; the brownish-grey transverse discal line on the secondaries somewhat more 

 strongly indicated. 



Undermde. — Primaries pale yellow, the apical area rather deeper in colour, with 

 faint vermiculations; a transverse line of brown internervular spots crossing the 

 inner edge of the apical area ; the usual grey inner-marginal line terminating in 

 two brown spots, one almost obsolete, just before the posterior angle. Secondaries 

 sandy-yellow, thickly covered with brownish vermiculations, the brown transverse 

 discal line fairly well pronounced.
