^ Brown, with mostly sharply-defined, sub-quadrate, jjcde ochreous- 

 yelloiv spots ; cilia didl yelloivish-ivhite, tnixed with greyish in fore-wing. 

 Fore-wing : basal third scaled with pale ochreous-yellow ; a good- sized 

 terminal disco-cellnlar spot ; between it and submedian nervure, ob- 

 liquely placed towards base, two smaller spots, of which the upper one 

 is crossed by beginning of first median nervule ; a discal row of six 

 sharply-defined spots, of which the upper three are considerably smaller 

 and united to form a short and narrow subapical bar, — the fourth and 

 fifth united between third and first median nervules, — and the sixth 

 separated just above submedian nervure. Hind-wing: over discoidal 

 cell and upper part of inner-marginal fold some sparse yellowish hairs ; 

 a small and rather indistinct terminal disco-cellular spot ; an irregular 

 discal band composed of five spots, the second of which (just beyond 

 end of cell) is much the largest, and the fifth rather large and indis- 

 tinct. U>fDER SIDE. — Hind-iving, and all fore-wing except fuscous inner- 

 marginal area, creamy-yelloio, with small black spots. Fore-xviiig : a 

 short black longitudinal streak in basal two-thirds of discoidal cell, and 

 a small black spot at upper corner of extremity of cell ; only lower 

 three spots of discal row apparent, much paler than on upper side, but 

 inner edge of upper three indicated by three minute black dots, and 

 outer edge of all except the lowest by a series of five inter-nervular 

 short black rays (thicker inwardly) extending to hind-margin ; two 

 similar but longer and more linear rays from just beyond extremity of 

 cell ; costa and hind-margin with a linear black edging. Hind-wing : 

 an indistinct fuscous streak along costa from base, a little within the 

 edge ; a spot close to base just above subcostal nervure, and another 

 (before middle) below it ; an irregular discal row of five spots, of which 

 the third and fourth are considerably beyond the others ; and a sub- 

 marginal row of five, of which the fifth is considerably before the 

 others ; inner-marginal fold and anal-angular area of a deeper yellow, 

 and marked superiorly by a strong longitudinal black ray from base ; 

 hind-margin with a linear black edge. 



Head black, with some creamy-white hairs in front, two white spots 

 on middle line of vertex, a larger spot behind base of each antennas, and 

 a yellowish half-ring behind eyes ; antennm black, the basal half of 

 club beneath and some of the articulations marked with pale-yellowish ; 

 palpi above black with a conspicuous white mark near extremity of 

 second joint, beneath (except terminal joiut) creamy-yellow. Thorax
