c??. Paler than Indian specimens of rlotho. Abdominal stigmata without 

 black dots. Forewing with one discal line, which is almost parallel to the outer 

 margin and cnrves costad at S( !'', being accentuated upon the veins and sometimes 

 absent ; a second line often vestigial, situated nearer cell. The pale marginal 

 area of tlie hindwing more extended than in clotlio clotho, nearly as much as in 

 clot/io celata. We have not noticed any constant ditferences in the sexual armature 

 between gnoma and clotho. 



Early stages not known.

? . First protarsal segment with a simple external row of spines. Cavity of 

 palpus as sharply defined as in inornata, biifiis, etc. 



Body and wings rufous-testaceous, upperside much shaded with brown. The 

 white lateral border of the thorax is continued to the tip of the palpus, but is 

 not very distinct on the head. 



Wings, adove. Forewing : basal half shaded with brown ; a black stigma : 



a single black line (in one of the three specimens barely vestigial), about 5 mm. 

 from outer margin at SC"', a short apical line, separate or joining the discal line ; 

 outer margin convex, fringe nnicolorons. Hindwing : the greater part brown,
