the series (if olivc-hlack spots near anal anfi;le is (•ontiniied towards costal niari^in, 

 these spots forniinn; a sulirnarjjinal hand which is more distinct heiiind than in front ; 

 between this hand and the discal one are two lines ; tiie inters]iaces hetween these 

 lines and bands j^rey behind, blackisii in front. 



Viiili'THide bnihsh clay-colour, paler at base, liarker distally ; lines on disc as 

 in anchemolus, distal marginal area of forewing as in that species, rather broader 

 behind. 



(?. Sexual armature of tlu^ .<iulcllili<i-iy\w. Tenth tergite narrowed towards 

 end, but not siiarpiy pointed (I'l. XLIV. f. 4). (Uasper hairy on inner surface, hut 

 there is no patcii of liristles ; har|)e as in satellitia licaon, hut the hook shorter. 

 Penis-sheath very slender, apical process tiiin, acutely pointed.

<??. Similar to anchemolus in appearance; body and wings not red below. 

 Abdomen above without distinct mesial line of pale spots. White spot on first 

 segment of palj)us narrower and longer than in anclieniolus \ white line behind eye 

 conspicuous ; external surface of foretibia clayish grey. 



Wings, ypperside. Forewing more glossy grey tiiau iu aiK-hcmolus ; three 



])arallel and oblique lines in basal area,, the tliird ending at inner upper corner 

 of rhonibiform jatcli, all three straight from costal margin to (SM') ; no stigma; 

 discal lines 1 and 2 distinct between M' and (SM'), the tirst reaching rhombiform 

 patch at uj)per outer corner, ])Osterior part of lines 3 and 4 weak, obsolete behind 

 M' ; portions C — R^ of discal lines more distal at R^ than iu satellitia, anchemolus, 

 triangidum, etc. ; oblique shadowy band broad, extended to distal margin, where it 

 is broader than in anchemolus ; subajiical costal jiatch large ; patch near hinder 

 angle broader than in the allied species, rounded triangular, not concave outwardly, 

 extending a little before M-, but this portion not narrowed to a more or less rounded 

 sjiot as in most species ; hinder area from base to rhombiform patch dark as in 



anchemolus ; Iringe of hinder margin huffish, less extended than in ani-hemohis. 



Hiudwing : broader than in anchemolus ; ])ale basi-discal area more yellowish than 

 in the sjiecies just mentioned, black outer area far more extended, broadly con- 

 nected with the square discal posterior jiatch ; anal area greyish, including a 

 single black sjiot, which is seldom absent, and often traces of others ; no stigma.
