^ Glistening dark-2nirph ; a hlach hind-marginal line ; cilia dull- 

 grey, slightly mixed with whitish. Hind-wing : close to hiud-margin, 

 between first modiau nervule and submedian nervure, an elongate 

 black mark ; three caudal tufts, not very slender, dusky at bases, but 

 thence whitish. Under side. — Fale greyish-hroivn, ivith scarcely darker, 

 on loth sides thinly whitish- edged, transverse stria;. Fore-iving : no 

 onarlcings lefore middle ; terminal disco-cellular striola short, not pro- 

 duced towards costa, but a minute white-ringed spot just above it ; 

 discal sti'ia submacular, slightly irregular, and curved superiorly, but 

 actually interrupted only on first median nervule, beneath which its 

 terminal portion is nearer base than the rest ; submarginal stria nar- 

 row, faintly marked, obsolescent superiorly ; hind-marginal whitish line 

 scarcely visible. Hind-tving : terminal disco-cellular striola well- 

 marked, rather long ; discal stria decidedly submacular, scarcely irre- 

 gular, not interrupted, widened just above submedian nervure, but 

 below it abruptly narrowed, marked mesially with a whitish line, and 

 deflected to inner margin about middle ; first (costal) spot of discal 

 fascia much darker than the rest, partly filled with fuscous or fuscous- 

 ferruginous ; submarginal stria much better marked than in fore-wing, 

 both its whitish edges sublunulate and rather suffused ; a whitish 

 hind-marginal line (obsolescent superiorly) immediately succeeded by a 

 fuscous one ; two hind-marginal black greenish-silvery spangled spots, 

 — the upper and larger one between second and first median nervules 

 encircled (except externally) by an ochre-yellow edging, — the lower 

 one, on each side of submedian nervure, edged interiorly with ochre- 

 yellow, which extends a little along inner-marginal edge ; a sub-basal 

 transverse row of three round spots in very thin whitish rings, of 

 which the first and second (respectively near costa and in discoidal
