almost straight, and from the middle of this runs a branch of equal 

 width, to near the apex, thus forming a distinct Y, The marginal 

 border is rather broad, slightly sinuate, and the fringe is whitish, 

 clouded with dusky. Beneath, the general ground color is dull 

 yellow. Costal edge of primaries, a large inverted wedge-shaped 

 discal spot, a submarginal band, broad on costa, and narrowing to 

 aline on the internal margin, and the moderately wide posterior 

 margin, all black. Secondaries, with basal third of costa, a sub- 

 oblong discal spot, a broad, waved and dentated median band, 

 and the apical half of margin black. These marks are all separate 

 and independent of each other. Thorax, abdomen and legs 

 greyish brown, flecked with white; the abdomen yellowish at the 

 tip.

Primaries dull stone drab, with slightly leaden tint. Basal 

 line almost obsolete, reduced to a few brownish scales. T. a. line 

 rounded inwardly in the middle, forming a rather deep sinus, 

 edged with brown. T. p. line begins on costa, at a space about 

 three lines from the apex, and encloses the usual pale dentated 

 spot. It is furnished with two teeth, directed posteriorly, and 

 when it reaches the median nervule turns abruptly and directly to 

 the middle of the wing below the reniform,and here forms a deep 

 tooth ; thence it runs obliquely, but without any deflection or 

 dentation, direct to the internal margin. The median space thus 

 enclosed by the t. a. and t. p. lines is much larger than usual, and 

 is remarkably wide on the costal margin. Behind the t. p. line is 

 a row of seven pale grey spots, being the broken-up sub-marginal 

 line. The t. p. line itself is bright golden brown. Margin and 

 fringes concolorous. The whole surface of the wing is flecked 

 with blackish scales. Secondaries deep orange ; the basal half of 

 costa broadly black; apical half of posterior margin also broadly 

 black. Near the apex, a longitudinal black band, interrupted 

 near median nervule, leaving the centre of the wing orange. In 

 a line with this, resting on anal angle, is another longitudinal black 

 dash. Abdominal margins broadly shaded with black. Beneath, 

 the ground color is sordid white. Middle of primaries, dusky 

 black — this shade joined at internal margin to the sub-marginal 

 band, which, with the posterior margin, is also dusky black. 

 Secondaries, with a rosy shade along the abdominal margin, the 

 markings of the upper side being strongly repeated. Thorax^ 

 abdomen and legs, greyish brown, flecked with black.
