$ Dull hrownisli-grcy ; a fuscous hind-viarginal edging line ; cilia 

 hroivnish-grey at iase, hit ivhitish outwardly, — in Innd-wing partly- 

 interrupted with narrow fuscous at extremities of nervules. Fore- 

 iving : an almost obsolete or very indistinct terminal disco-cellular 

 dusky lunulo ; in some specimens very faint, paler and darker discal 

 and submarginal marks indicating pattern of under side. Hind-wing : 

 much as in fore-wing, the indications of under-side pattern less indis- 

 tinct, especially towards hind-margin, where an outer submarginal 

 series of paler lunules appears, as well as a thin hind-marginal whitish 

 line, more pronounced, near anal angle ; between first and second 

 median nervules, a rather well-marked black spot, bordered inwardly by 

 a pale ochrey-yellow Innule ; often indistinct traces of a smaller similar 

 spot below first median nervule ; an extremely short linear black tail, 

 not wMtc-tippcd, at extremity of first median nervule. Under side. — 

 Almost exactly as in Asopus, hut the ground-colour more tinged tcith 

 hroionish, and the -white markings loider and more consjjicuous, especially 

 the inner of the two suhniarginal rows of lumdes. Fore-wing : discal 

 row decidedly less regular, bent inward on median nervules, its lowest 

 spot (above submedian nervure) often indistinct, sometimes geminate. 

 Hind-wing : the four black white-ringed spots of sub-basal row all con- 

 spicuous, — the third touching the second, and just below median ner- 

 vure at origin of its first nervule ; in discal row the last spot (on 

 inner margin), as well as the first spot (close to costa), is conspicuous, 

 rounded, black, white-ringed, and the sixth spot (between first and second 

 median nervules) touching lower extremity of broad terminal disco-cellu- 

 lar limule ; smaller hind-marginal spot, at anal angle itself, much better 

 developed than in Asopiis, and (except for its much smaller size and 

 the suffused condition of the yellow lunule) like the larger superior 

 one ; between the lotvcst of the inner suhmarginal scries of lunules and 

 the last inner-margined spot of discal row a slender longitudinal white 

 streak.
