Winjjs, Hppi^rsidi'. FdVpTving : greyisli olive, ])iilesl at, end of cell ami 



before apex, six lines close together, 1 to 5 turning costail between SC and SC'', 

 5 the most pronounced, but not essentially broader than the others, 6 running 

 to tip of wing ; two more lines, 7 straight, accentuated n])on the veins, s indicated 

 In- more or less dispersed scales ; between lines 6 and 7 there is posteriorly a 

 vestige <>f an additional line ; internal margin as a rule blackish olive outside line 



5 and (I. Hiudwing black ; a pinkish buff band, somewliat variable in width, 



not distinctly indented. 



Underside clayish buff, more or less shaded with red-tawny. Forewing : 



more than the basal half olive-cinnamon, a dark brown line about 4 mm. from 

 cell at R^ straight, oblique, curving costad before SC% followed by one or two 

 less distinct lines, a third line parallel to the first indicated by vein-dots, ending 

 at costal margin in a conspicuous, black, somewhat halfmoon-shaped spot ; 

 marginal band pale isabella-colour or drab, paler towards edge of wing, with 

 three vestigial lines, the proximal one forming the inner edge of the band 



abbreviated at R'. Hindwing : costal margin shaded with brown from base 



to discal lines; four discal lines, the first two fused together to a rather broad 

 one, which touches end of cell, the fourth indicated by vein-dots ; marginal band 

 drab or isabella-colour ; extreme margin of wing more or less yellowisli from 

 apex to M=.

(S ? . Antenna of ? andromorphic. Spurs of raidtibia variable : in ? ? they 

 are sometimes of equal length, while in other ? ? and in the SS tlie external one 



is longer than the internal one. Forewing with eight lines, the first four in 



pairs, line 5 heavier, mostly accentuated ni)on the veins by dots or dashes ; cell 

 with a black dot opposite M- in most individuals ; a black subapical costal spot. 

 Band of hindwing clayish pink-bufi", of almost the same width throughout, concave 

 proximally between R- and M-, not reaching apex of wing or costal margin, 

 sometimes stopping at R^ ; the black outer border of the wing widest between 

 R' and R', here as broad as the pinkish baud, mostly distinctly dentate near R^. 



The underside more heavily marked with black and brown than in the two 



following species. Forewing : the discal band emanating from the brown 



snbdiscal area heavy, interrupted at the veins, mostly ending at SC^, spot SC^ — SO' 

 about mm. from the cousj)icnous black subapical dot ; a brown line from apex 

 to R3 (or nearly to that vein), another to inner margin, interspace between the 

 two lines pale drab, sometimes almost of the colour of the disc ; interspace between
