c? ? . The line crossing the forewing between M' and M- is irregular and 

 much less oblique than the corresponding line of palmeri, being behind at least 

 5 mm. distant from the snbbasal band, while at the costal margin the band is more 

 ])ro,\imal than in palmeri. Hindwing with a blackish brown distal marginal band, 

 (ienital armature as in palmeri.

S ? . The upperside of the body and forewing of the type is less brown than 



in fresh specimens. The underside of the hindwing bears distally of the cell a 



prominent, nearly straight, black or brown line. 



(J. The submesial ridge of tiie harpe is much higiier than in yannascits, the 

 ventral j)art of the harpe scarcely so distinct as in that species ; the penis-sheath 

 is not essentially different ; the apex is dorsally more strongly chitinised than 

 ventrally ; the feebly raised rounded carina which appears in yannasctts as a dark 

 line is not marked except at the end. The tenth tergite is vertically broader in 

 and beyond the middle than in gannasnis ; the sternite is less sinuate.

 sccoculata, and Rothschild made the same mistake (see gannascus).
