apex, interrupted iu four places ; three spots in discoidal cell, the 

 outer one lunular and closing cell, that nearest base subquadrate, the 

 central one (nearer to basal than outer spot) quadrate, elongate ; below 

 first cellular spot, touching submedian nervure, a whitish spot divided 

 by longitudinal fold ; a discal row of four spots, of which the first is 

 rather large and crossed by two subcostal nervules, the second small, 

 between third and second median nervules, the third large and just 

 below outer cellular spot and crossed by first median nervule, the 

 fourth small and semicircular (above submedian nervure), and the 

 nearest to base of the row ; between this row and cilia two rows of 

 white dots, the inner one of eight dots usually complete and well 

 marked, the outer imperfect, with its dots between nervules and touch- 

 ing cilia. Hind-wing : a small round spot in discoidal cell near base ; a 

 rather, broad, short, white, transverse, discal band, abruptly commencing 

 on second subcostal nervule, crosses end of cell and extends irregularly 

 and more narrowly to submedian nervure ; rows of dots as in fore- 

 winjx, but outer row more regular and perfect than inner, which is 

 obsolete towards costa, but of which the first dot (on fold beyond cell) 

 is enlarged into a good-sized spot. Cilia broad, white, broadly inter- 

 rupted with black on nervules. Under side. — Costa and aj)cx of forc- 

 ving and ground-colour of hind-ving 2^alcr or darker ydlovAsh-ochreous ; 

 black of fore-ioing less dark. Fore-iving : spots as on upper side, but 

 all rather larger ; costa from base broadly whitish. Hind-iuing : costa 

 edged with whitish, especially on basal prominence ; discal band longer 

 than on upper side, commencing on costa, but widely interrupted on 

 subcostal nervules, its extremity joining a longitudinal white space on 

 inner margin from base to anal angle, bounded by submedian ; before 

 middle a similar transverse white stripe, commencing with a large 

 costal patch, more or less interrupted on subcostal nervure, and nar- 

 rowing to join inner-marginal white on submedian. Cilia tinged with 

 yellowish, the interruptions with ochreous. 



Head above blackish, with a white spot on each side next the eye, 

 but frontally clothed with a mixture of blackish, whitish, and yellowish 

 hairs ; pencil of hairs at base of each antenna mostly black, but partly 

 yellowish ; antennae black above but white beneath, with the extremity 

 of the club beneath ferruginous-red ; palpi above with mixed hairs 

 like those of front, but beneath with creamy-white hairs and scales 

 only, except as regards terminal joint, which is black. Thorax above 

 black, rather densely clothed frontally and laterally with yellow- 

 ish-grey, posteriorly with hoary-grey hair ; beneath very densely 

 clothed with white or creamy-white hair ; legs creamy, tinged with 

 brownish superiorly. Ahdomen above black, with very distinct white 

 segmental incisions ; laterally tinged with ochreous-yellow ; iuferiorly 

 white.
