BOARMID.^—ENNOMOS. 6r 



projecting, pale purple-brown ; head roughly tufted, canary- 

 yellow ; thorax very thickly covered with long fluffy raised 

 scales, bright canary-yellow ; abdomen moderately stout, 

 smooth, pale ochreous, the basal portion covered with long 

 yellow scales ; lateral tufts very small ; anal tuft short. Fore 

 wings pointed ; costa very straight to near the apex, where it 

 is a little arched ; apex sharply pointed ; hind margin beneath 

 it faintly hollowed, but filled out above the middle into a 

 blunt projection, below which is a considerable hollow, whence 

 it is rounded off, sweeping in a full curve round the anal 

 angle ; both above and below the projection a small point or 

 crenulation terminates every nervure ; dorsal margin gently 

 rounded and moderately ciliated ; colour ochreous-yellow or 

 orange-yellow, faintly dusted with purplish-black ; first and 

 second lines pale leaden-brown, both oblique, and both curved 

 in a similar manner, though not quite parallel ; discal spot a 

 rather oblique leaden streak ; costa clouded or dusted with 

 leaden-brown ; cilia whitish-ochreous, spotted upon every 

 crenulation with brown-black. Hind wings broad and 

 rounded behind, but finely scalloped and crenulated, the 

 middle joint projecting beyond the rest; pale ochreous, 

 deepening to fulvous along the hind margin ; in the middle 

 is a faint indication of a transverse leaden line ; cilia white, 

 with the tips of the crenulations black-brown. Female 

 stouter, antennae simple, otherwise similar. 



Underside of all the wings dull orange-yellow ; the mark- 

 ings of the upper side reproduced ; the costa and apex of 

 the fore wings and the whole of the hind wings dusted with 

 dull purple dots, except a yellow stripe down the dorsal 

 margin ; central spot of the hind wings a dusky-black cres- 

 cent, placed upon the transverse line. Body and legs 

 orange-yellow dusted with purple ; leg-tufts canary-yellow. 



Chiefly variable in the extent and abundance, or absence, of 

 the purplish-black, or leaden, dusting upon the fore wings, 

 and of the cloudy transverse line or stripe of the hind wings. 

 Mr. Sydney Webb has a specimen in which the dusting is so
