S H . Second segment of palpus aliout as long us lnoad, not narrowed lo 

 base ; cavity of first segment vestigial. External row of s])ines of first [irotarsiil

 metanotum with a patch of tawny and ochreous scales laterally, the patcli extending 

 on to the mesouotum, no black mesial dot ; abdomen without lateral stripe. Distal 

 margin of forewing more convex thau iu the other species, the fringe distinctly 

 spotted, the four discal lines (or rows of dots) more distinct behind, followeil 

 at internal margin by a small brown patch, a similar ])atch at apex of wiug. The 

 lirown border of the underside of the forewing dilated behind K-, mostly reaching 

 ihi' liasal area. As iu velatn, aurijcra, SLnd'acftci, there occur specimens iu which 

 tlic outer disc of the forewing above is Imrt'-colour near costal and internal margins. 



<?. Process of iiarpe slender, somewhat r\j-shaped. Penis-sheath intermediate 

 between those of rdata and aurij'eru, the right jirocess long, multidentate at and 

 near proximal edge, esjiecially near end, the left jirocess slenderer, also multi- 

 dentate at and near proximal edge (PI. LVlll. f. 111).
