with reddish, basal third dark grey. Hindwings fuscoua, sometimes ochreous- 

 tiiiged, darker towards apex ; cilia whitish-fuscous. 



Palni Hills (^Campbell) ; Khasis, in June ; seven specimens. I have also four 

 specimens from Maturatta, Peradeniya, Maskeliya and Haputale, Ceylon, in 

 February, and from June to September (Pole, Green, Alston), which are 

 probably the same species, but differ in being usually darker-coloured, forewings 

 sometimes dark fuscous with slight purplish tinge, hindwings dark fuscous 

 sometimes with coppery tinge, head, palpi, and part of costa and cilia of fore- 

 wiags more or less conspicuously yellowish-tinged. I do not find any reliable 

 distinction.
