26 Lloyd's natural history. 



below the cell to the lower part of the hind and inner margins 

 as far as the anal angle ; apex dusted with white ; a large 

 buff costal patch spreading over the upper half of the cell, but 

 not reaching its base or extremity. 



Underside — Anterior wings brown; only the outer part of 

 the fawn-coloured patch well marked ; it is smaller and paler 

 than above, and ends as a whitish blotch above the lowest 

 median nervule. Below the median nervure, and for half the 

 length below the lowest median nervule, the wing is pale buff, 

 the place of the white spot above being marked by a narrow 

 black oval outline ; on the inner margin the wing is whiter 

 on both sides of the sub median nervure as far as the anal 

 angle ; sub-marginal spots smaller and whiter than above, the 

 fifth obsolete. 



Posterior wings uniform rufous-brown. 



Body dark brown, inclining to blackish in front, with a 

 white spot behind each antenna ; four spots at the back of 

 the head ; a white spot on each side of the thorax in front, and 

 diverging crests of grey hair on the front of the thorax above ; 

 sides of the head and thorax and base of the wings spotted 

 with white beneath. 



Female.— Upper side.— Anterior wings nearly as in the male, 

 but the fawn-coloured patch much longer than in the latter, 

 and not marked with white, except at the extremity, where 

 the white suffusion forms a pear-shaped spot, covering the 

 place of the sixth sub-marginal spot ; the sub-marginal spots 

 are larger and whiter than in the male, and are continued 

 by a seventh, followed below by a short streak, above the 

 sub-median nervure ; the fawn-coloured patch nearly extends 

 here to the seventh spot ; the white oval spot of the male is, 

 of course, wanting. 



Posterior wings rufous-brown, darkest in the centre, dusted
