118 LEPIDOPTERA. 



Disc somewhat paler than the margins. Along the anterior 

 margin a series of about twelve irregular- sized black spots, 

 generally arranged in pairs, forming the anterior outlines of 

 the paler undulated strigae, which run across the wings. 

 From the base to the middle of the anterior margin, these 

 spots have an outward direction, but from the middle to the 

 tip they are directed obliquely towards the base of the wing. 

 In the middle of the wing, closing the discoidal cell, is a 

 small transverse black spot. The median vein between the 

 base and the first bjanch is marked with one roundish and 

 three oblong minute black spots. The branches of the 

 median veins, as well as the two disco-cellular and the sub- 

 anal veins, are also faintly marked with blackish spots, those 

 on the first branch of the median vein being the most strongly 

 marked. All these dark spots indicate the direction of the 

 pale obliquely undulated strigae, of which one near the base, 

 two running across the middle of the discoidal cell (strongly 

 elbowed near the middle of the cell), two beyond the middle 

 of the wing (strongly elbowed towaixls the fore-margin), 

 and one sub-apical (strongly elbowed near the anal angle, 

 forming a well-marked W opposite the apical angle), are 

 the most conspicuous : several others are, however, much 

 more sliixhtly indicated. The outer portion of the wing has 

 also a series of small dark lines running from the margin 

 towards the disc between the veins ; the outer margin itself 

 is formed by a dark line. The fringe is pale, with a dark 

 line near its base ; the outer portion is also dark. 



Posterior wings paler than anterior ones, especially on the 

 disc ; anal portion darker, varied with short transversely un- 

 dulatino; strig^aB. At the commencement of the disco-cellular 

 vein a very minute dark dot. Beyond the middle of the 

 wins: a denticulated dusky striga, followed by a whitish one 

 commencing at the anal angle, beyond which the outer por- 

 tion of the wing is dusky. Fringe paler at the base, darker
