of iiiid- ami liiudtibiae with lew spines, the long terminal one more than iialf tiie 

 length of the first tarsal segment. Abdominal tergites with si)iaes all over. 



Wings, abore. Forewing greyish pink, slightly darker in outer area ; outer 



margin straight ; two black dots uear base, with an indistinct line proximally of 

 them ; a straight line jnst pro.ximally of base of M-, at right angles to hindmargin, 

 very faintly bent costad in front, a double line proximally of base of M', less heavy^ 

 consisting of three sections, costal section down to M straight, second section 

 between M and SM- slightly concave, third section straight and ob]i(iue, leaning 

 basad posteriorly ; a double line at D, stopping at R^ ; a well-marked discal line 

 crossing SC'' H mm. and M- (ii mm. from the bases of these veins, gently curved 

 twice, being feebly convex between V and W and then faintly concave ; close upon 

 tlie discal line (and parallel with it) follow two thin lines of which tlie second is 

 liarely traceable, then follow two undulate lines, parallel to one another, distance 

 between them about 3 mm., the outer one reaching internal margin o mm. from 

 angle of wing ; outside this line there is a short heavy bar between M- and internal 



margin, sulnlivided at SM- ; the lines pinkish chestnut. Hindwing : base and 



abdominal area red, this colour gradually shading into the pinkish hazel colour of 

 tlie distal half ; a discal line crossing R-' 2 mm. from the cell, convex in front, 

 slightly concave behind, hazel colour ; a chestimt bar of 1 mm. breadth at anal 

 angle between M- and edge of wing, at the proximal side of which bar stands a 

 thin line ; D- not much longer than Ul 



Undertiide. Forewing : basal half pale jiink, outer half ocliraceons-buti', with 



numerous tawny scales ; three lines in outer half, more distinct in front, very feebly 

 marked behind, all curving slightly costad, the first crossing R^ 3 mm. from cell, 

 the second 41 mm. more distal, the third 2^ mm. more distal than the second at 



W\ Hindwing, pinkish ochraceons-buff, sprinkled over with tawny scales, basal 



iialf more grey ; three lines in outer half, convex in front, slightly concave behind, 

 nearly equidistant, approaching one another a little behind, the discal line crossing 

 R^ barely 1§ mm. from cell, third line undulate between R' and M-, 2^ mm. from 

 outer margin at R' ; traces of a fourth line between M' and abdominal margin, 

 space between this line and margin up to M- tilled up with iiinkish vinaceous- 

 rufous scaling. 



Tenth tergite (PI. XXVI. f. 3(i) somewhat pear-shaped, rather abruptly narrowed 

 to a blnnt, slightly curved hook : the greater part of the plate — the sides and the 

 hook excepted — membranaceous ; the sternite very narrow and long, deeply cleft, 

 the two lobes somcwjjat compressed and sharply pointed. Clasper with a naked 

 area occupying the greater part of the outside, this space with minute granules ; 

 apex rounded, ventrally more obli(pie than dorsally ; harpe (Rl. XXXIll. f. 17) 

 very simple, the armature represented by a heavy basi-ventral dilatation of the 

 clasi)er {pe), the projection triangular, irregularly rounded and soiuewhat notched. 

 Penis-sheath without external armature, but there are two flaps inside which 

 liave serrated edges.

This is possibly the c? oi numosac, but the differences are such that we must 

 consider them of specific value. The differences in colour between the species of 

 this genus are sometimes very slight : compare asximilis &n<X jn/garga, andosa and 

 compar and consimiUs ; hoUandi and paupercula.
