20S lttrosiadj:. 



streak from costa before middle along median nervure to the post- 

 medial band, crossing the antemedial line which is oblique below 

 the discal fold and emits a fork from costa to the streak on median 

 nervure where it expands into a medial spot below the cell; a broad 

 slightly curved chocolate-brown band from costa beyond middle 

 to tornus, its outer edge excurved between veins 6 and 5, and 

 enclosing a spot of the ground colour ; the veins of terminal area 

 with dark streaks; a double waved subterminal line from costa 

 to vein 4 and a terminal series of spots defined by chocolate-brown 

 from apex to below vein 1 where it is connected with the sub- 

 terminal line, also by a chocolate spot between veins G and 5 ; the 

 eosta towards apex and cilia chocolate-brown. Hind winy' creamy 

 white with a slight brown discoidal striga ; a pale brown maculate 

 subterminal band from costa to submedian fold, incurved at 

 discal fold, and a slight mark at vein 1.

2 . Head creamy white with a slight rufous streak on vertex, 

 the antennae, frons, and palpi dark brown : thorax chocolate-red 

 with creamy white patches on tegulae and prothorax and stripes on 

 outer edge of patagia; abdomen orange with dorsal black bars on 

 terminal half : femora orange, the tibiae and tarsi creamy white, 

 the latter banded with chocolate-brown ; pectus and ventral sur- 

 face of abdomen creamy white. Fore wing with the basal area 

 silvery white, yellow at inner margin, its outer edge excurved to 

 vein 1 with two small spots beyond it in the cell and retracted 

 below vein 1 ; a subbasal spot defined by chocolate-brown on itat costa 

 and two sinuous red antemedial stria' across submedian interspace: 

 the medial and postmedial areas chocolate-red with semicircular 

 medial silvery white patches at costa and inner margin, the former 

 with small chocolate-brown spot at costa, then a double striga. the 

 latter with double striga : the terminal area silvery white from just 

 below costa to a point on termen at vein 2, its inner edge incurved, 

 traversed by a waved chocolate line near its inner edge and double 

 irregularly waved subterminal line: a quadrate chocolate-brown 

 spot before termen between veins (> and 5 and a waved chocolate- 

 brown line defining white spots on termen. Hind wing orange- 

 yellow, the terminal half fuscous brown except on costal area, it> 

 inner edge irregular and indented by yellow streaks below sub- 

 median fold and at inner margin ; cilia pale yellow except towards 

 tornus. Underside of fore wing with the basal area yellow, then 

 paler and without the patch on inner margin; hind wing with a 

 small rufous antemedial spot below costa, the terminal area paler 

 brown and extending to costa.
