blown; paljii small, black-biown, tipped with white; face 

 prominent, silvery white, head and neck-ridge dusky white ; 

 thorax black-brown, barred in the middle with white ; 

 abdomen brown with a row of minute black dorsal tufts and 

 some white dusting around them ; anal tuft short and com- 

 pressed. Fore wings narrow ; costa slightly and flatly 

 arched throughout ; apex narrowly rounded, almost angu- 

 lated ; hind margin long, oblique, faintly curved ; dorsal 

 margin straight ; colour white ; base tinged with brown in 

 which is a black costal cloud ; this extends to a curved brown 

 transverse stripe, blackened on the costa and nervures, which 

 precedes the excessively obscure first line of carelessly 

 arranged brown dots ; in the middle of the wing are four 

 successive black spots on the costa ; underneath them is the 

 discal spot, elongated, deep black ; from them proceed three 

 angulated lines of brown dusting which enclose the discal 

 spot and become more distinct toward the dorsal margin ; 

 beyond, on the costa, is a brown blotch connected with a 

 series of brown clouds of unequal width, which attains the 

 anal angle, and is bounded on the outside by the white 

 irregular subterminal line ; another brown blotch occupies 

 the apex of the wing, and is slenderly continued along the 

 hind margin and there edged by black streaks ; cilia white, 

 spotted with black, and clouded with brown. Hind wings 

 short, the hind margin rather sinuous and tlattened ; colour 

 white ; central spot small, black ; a large black-brown spot 

 on the dorsal margin near the base is followed down that 

 margin by similar dotting and dusting on the nervures ; hind 

 margin clouded with brown dusting, and edged with black 

 streaks ; cilia brownish-white, spotted with brown clouds. 

 Female similar. 



Underside of the fore wings smoky-white ; costa spotted 

 with black and white ; discal spot black ; apex and hind
