Fore femora with a few long hairs (longer than the general 

 pubescence) : middle femora with an irregular row of short bristles 

 on upper and anterior sides, including several rather longer ones 

 placed near together towards the tip of the anterior side : hind femora 

 with four rows (one on each side, also above and below) of long 

 soft hairs : all the femora distinctly broader at tip than at base. 

 Fore tibiae with a row of 5 or 6 long, equidistant bristles on front 

 side, and a row on the outer side : middle tibiae with a row of 5 or 

 6 bristles on hinder side, and a row of 5 or 6 on outer side: hind 

 tibiae with a row of 10 or 12 stronger stiff hairs on hinder side, and 

 a row of 5 or 6 stiff long hairs on outer side, in a Idition to rows 

 of longer, soft hairs, which are also in addition to the general pubes- 

 cence. All the tarsi with some longer hairs; hind metatarsus, which 

 is as long as the rest of the tarsus, with a row of 5 or 6 pairs of 

 diverging bristles on outer side; 2nd, 3rd and 4th tarsal joints 

 with some longer hairs in sets of from two to four, on outer side; 

 claws black. 



In coloration, all the femora have two blackish rings on apical 

 half, the tips also being narrowly black; the tibiae have a narrow 

 ring in the middle and a rather broad one at the tip ; all the tarsal 

 joints are black tipped, all these rings on the legs being variable in 

 width and still more so in intensity. 



Wings clear grey ; considerably iridescent ; costa very shortly 

 bristly, quite bare at base, posterior margin of wing with soft short 

 hairs, longest at base of wing and shortest towards tip of wing, 

 ist longitudinal vein with a row of distinct, rather long bristles 

 throughout its entire length ; deflected suddenly downwards near 

 its base, shortly afterwards merged in the costa, just after the 

 origin of the 2nd longitudinal, which, at about half the distance 

 from its origin to the wing-tip, turns up almost at right angles to 

 the costa. The 3rd longitudinal springs from this angle and is 

 nearly straight. The anterior cross-vein very short, placed very 

 near base of 3rd longitudinal, united to upper basal corner of 

 discal cell. The upper branch of the 4th vein is forked, the two 

 prongs divergent; lower branch simple. Discal cell practically 

 rhomboidal, twice as long as broad, rather broader at apical end ; 

 posterior cross-vein exactly below middle of discal cell. 



The 5th and 6th fongitudinal veins are nearly straight, 7th 

 bristly at the base, rather more than half as long as 6th, sharply 

 curved near its tip towards the border. 



A slight brownish suffusion over the anterior cross- vein, the 

 outer side of the discal cell, and the posterior cross-vein. Hal- 

 teres dirty yellow ; knobs blackish. 



Described from a pair in the Indian Museum taken in cop. at 

 vSukhwani, Nepal, 15 — i6-ii-o8, a pair taken by Dr. Annandale at 

 Sukna, Darjiling district, i-vii-o8, and from other specimens. 



N .B. — The above description was written some months before 

 the publication of Mr. Edwards's ceylonica, under the assumption 

 it was a new species. Being drawn up from a series of more than 

 a dozen specimens representing both sexes, it seems advisable not
