S ? . Paler than reratomioides, the dorsal lines of the abdomen contiuuous 



as in f/ta'atiensis ; the black apical line of the antenna very short. Forewing' : 



costal spots vestigial ; the most distal one of the subbasal lines rnnning along M 

 to base of R^, discal and postdiscal lines decidedly straighter than in ceratomioides, 

 not dentate between 8(J"' and 11-', the fifth line nearly as heavy as in tlie allied 

 sjiecies, but almost straight ; the feebly marked submarginal line straighter than 

 in ceratomioides, not following the curve of the discal margin so obviously as in 

 that species ; distal margin even, not undulate, without distinct internervular 

 sjiots : the pale discal sjiace broader before inner margin than in ceratomioides, 

 Icing posteriorly somewhat widened and rounded. On the underside the ochraceous 

 tawny or bulf narrow postdiscal zigzag space of the forewiug of ceratomioides 

 much broader in i-i/lobotcs. 



6. Tenth abdominal steruite somewhat shorter than in ceratomioides; the 

 liarpe slenderer ; the jn'ocess of the peuis-sheath much longer and narrower.

Wings, ii/jjjersit/e. Forewing : the spot at apical fourth of costa vestigial ; 



the discal and postdiscal lines curved and dentate as in ceratomioides, but the 

 fourth line very distinct within the ])ale area R' — M^, the fifth line much less 

 black, and vestigial to M- ; within the pale area there is an additional, feebly 

 marked line between the fourth and fifth ; outer margin evenly coloured, more 

 oblique and consequently longer than in ceratomioides, very faintly undulate ; the 



interspaces of the lines paler than in that species. Ilindwing : the pale discal 



and central areas shaded with brown, the band separating them narrower and 

 more clearly defined than in the allied species. 



Underside of wings more uniform in ground-colour, the ochraceous and buff 

 postdiscal s[)ace of forewing and the disc of hiudwing rnsset-cinnamon, the disc 

 of the forewing without the reddish tint of the three allied species, the costal area 



as pale as in ceratomioides. Forewing : five lines on disc, curving costad, the 



first reaching SC^*', the; second stopping at SC"', the three others, of which the 

 middle one is faint, converge, and are continued as a single line from R^ to SC*, 



ending in a spot. Hindwing : two parallel lines on disc, the proximal one 



crossing R-' and M' close to cell, vestigial to costal margin, S-shaped, the second 

 distinct only behind, then continued to costa by a series of nerve-dots.
