$ Pale dull-grey, tinged with ochrey-yclloiv {especially hind-iving) ; 

 ncuration hlacJc throughout ; a common linear hlaclc hind-7narginal edginrj ; 

 fore-wing with a few transparent spots, of which two in middle are 

 large. Fore-wing: two small whitish spots at base, one costal, the 

 other (black bordered) at the origin of median nervure ; about middle 

 two large, inwardly sub-acuminate, outwardly excavate-truncate trans- 

 parent spots, divided only by median nervure, — the upper one in dis- 

 coidal cell near its extremity rather shorter longitudinally than the 

 lower one, which is bounded inferiorly by first median nervule ; imme- 

 diately beyond these large spots, between second and third median 

 nervules, a very much smaller transparent spot; on costa, between 

 third subcostal and upper radial nervules, a tripartite transparent 

 marking of moderate size ; all these transparent markings more or less 

 completely blackish-edged. Hind-iving : ochrey-yellow tinge strono-est 

 on costa, but diffused over entire area ; linear black hind-marginal 

 edging becoming greatly wider and diffuse on anal-angular prominence. 

 Cilia short and blackish, but at anal angle of hind-wino" lono- and 

 ochrey-yellow. Under side. — Very onuch pcder ; hind-iving white, with 

 a llach hind-marginal border; ncuration not hlack, except to a limited 

 extent in hind-iving. Fore-iving : no blackish edging to transparent 

 markings ; basi-inner-marginal area tinged with pale creamy-yellowish ; 

 a basal ochrey-yellow mark between median and submedian nervures ; 

 costal, submedian, and internal nervures, and nervules near hind- 

 marginal border, black ; border narrow and fuscous apically, but be- 

 coming broader and darker inferiorly, particularly on anal-angular 

 prominence. 



Head and hody much rubbed in the two specimens before me, but 

 evidently black cd)0ve with creamy-yellowish spots, and ochrey-red 

 prothoracic collar, metathoracic tufts and anal tuft ; and heneath with 

 pale ochrey-yellow palpi, propectus and legs, — side of thorax blackish 

 spotted with white, and abdomen white edged with blackish.
