S. Body above vinaccous-ciiuiamon ; a black mesial line on head and me.so- 

 notnm, abbreviated in front and behind, no dark patch or streak on mesothoracical 

 tegula ; metanotum black ; a small lateral spot on second abdominal segment, and

 base ; a white dash behind eye ; abdomen vinaceous-pink. 



Wings, uboee. Forewing : vinaceous-cinnamon, dusted witli brown scales ; 



lines nearly as in translineatus, but basal dot larger ; five discal lines, the most 

 distal one almost continuous, its posterior portion being less proximal than in tians- 



lineatus. Hindwing : a large black jiatch from base to end of cell continued 



towards anal angle, where it joins the black anal patcii ; this branch of the patch 

 dilated at M' and joining a black postdiscal band, which does not reach costal 

 margin, but has the appearance of being a continuation of the black anal patch, 

 corresponding to the postdiscal band of ti/phon, fascialus, etc. ; abdominal and 

 costal margins pinkish red, distal margin salmon-red ; centre of wing and a 

 sulibasal [latcii before abdominal margin grey, with a shade of olive-butf. 



Uiulerside vinaceons-ferrnginous, more vinaceous-red towards abdominal 

 margin of hindwing ; both wings crossed on disc by three blackish brown lines, 

 which become red in ]iosterior half of hindwing, and are parallel with one another 



as well as with outer margins, but curving costad on both wings. Forewing: 



basal area greyish brown, blackish behind cell ; outer margin with a broad greyish 



brown band shajiid as in J'a.sriafi/s, rift's, etc. Hindwing: extreme base as on

c?. Tenth tergite slender, shar])ly pointed. Olasper with strongly convex 

 ventral margin ; friction-scales inconspicuous ; no patch of bristles on inner side ; 

 harpe with two processes, the upper process corresponding to that of satellitia, 

 liointod, curved, bent laterad and ventrad ; the other process broad, feebly chitinised, 

 obtuse, subconical, hollow (PI XLVIIl. f. 9, lateral aspect). Penis-sheath ending 

 in an acute stout process, which is more' curved than ordinarily in this genus.
