 oilier sprcinuMis and tlien clouding tli< yellow hand are i)r(\'<ent ; the median 

 dai'k l>an(l is very narrnw. and wants the discal and snliniedian sinuses so 

 conspienons in the other specimens. In size and the cut of the wing, the 

 specinu'n iloes not show any varietal dillerences. 



In one oi" two specimens received I'rom >My Lintuor (2444), the outer 

 yellow band is wanting; in the otiier ((1<S), t he two liands are rnsty-yellow, 

 and the middle, broad, dark l)and is snlliised below the costa with a decidcsd 

 brick-red, and the notch runs into and touches the discal dot, being as well 

 marked as in Gnenee's figure. 



Though I did not see the typ<'s oi" M. Gucnee in Ids collection, his 

 figure and descriptions leave no doulit in my mind as to the correctness of 

 this determination. If was also thus determined !)y Mv. 8ani)oru. Walker's 

 type I saw in the IJritish Museum under the wixme Jlammiferata.

3 (? and 4 9. — Palpi long, acute. P)ody and wings dull rusty-brown, 

 with scattered white scales. Head, pal])i, and body concolorous. Fore wings 

 dull rusty-brown, a darker baud across the base; the outer edge zigzag, con- 

 sisting of three acute points; that in the median space the largest, very acute; 

 beyond is a ])aler rusty-i)rown band, which is succeeded l)y a little wider 

 dusky band, becoming narrower on the inner edge; a lighter median band 

 enclosing the oval discal dot; this band varies in being brown or white, and 

 is, in the female, twice as wide as in the male, and varies in w idtli in the 

 latter; this median dark t)r white region is scalloped externally with a large, 

 toothed, subacute projection in the middle of the wing, being straight on the 

 cosla and on the inner edge; in some si)ecimens, this outer vdixr of the 

 nu'dian Ijand is clearly resolved into two, and in tin; single female three, 

 brown, parallel, contiguous, wavy lin(>s: the outer edge of the wing is clear 

 rusty-brown, with a row of obscure dusky patches half-way between the 

 scalloped line and the outer edge of the wing: a submarginal row of longi- 

 tudinal, iutervenular, l)lack, linear spots; a black line at the base of the fringe, 

 and a dusky line along the fringe. Hind wings dusky-ochreous, brighter on 

 the outer third of the wing; a sliijht di.scal dot; a brown interrupted line
