 sinuate, little oblique, rounded beneath ; ochrcous-whitc, strigulated with 

 brown, grey, or dark fuscous, except on a broad undefined streak extending 

 from middle of dorsum to costa before apex, interstices of strigulation more or 

 less silvery or filled up with leaden-metallic, sometim(S forming definite streaks 

 from costa ; ocellus long, narrow, broader upwards, margined laterally with 

 thick leadon-mctallio streaks, and filled with six or seven irregular small black 

 spota^ preceded on dorsum by a short erect Icaden-mctallic mark enclosed be- 

 tween two black streaks : cilia grey speckled with dark grey. Ilindwings 

 rather dark grey ; cilia grey. 



Khasi Hills, in June ; eleven specimens. Very close to the European

 wliitish-ochreous mixed or suffused with grey, beneath white towards base, 

 second joint tufted with long scales beneath. Abdomen dark-grey, forewings 

 elongate, costa moderately arched, apex tolerably pointed, termen concave, 

 little oblique, rounded beneath ; ochreous, obscurely strigulated with fulvous, 

 posterior half suffused with deeper fulvous ; costa with pairs of obscure pale

 leaden-metallic streaks, second of these extended as a very oblique striga to 

 near termen beneath apex ; a triangular tornal blotch mixed with grey and 

 grey-whitish, becoming leaden-metallic towards apex, anterior edge oblique, so

 grey ; cilia grey, with darker subbasal line. 



Khasi Hills, from June to August ; twenty specimens. Though differing 

 from other species in having 3 and 4 of hindwings connate instead of stalked 

 or coincident, this species otherwise agrees well here.
