base itself, extending up to costal edge, and emitting two small down- 

 ward projections, one just before and the other a little beyond middle ; 

 apical border greyish- creamy but with some fuscous-brownish 

 clouding along its internal edge to below second radial. Hind-wing : 

 from base to beyond middle of the same fuscous-brownish as costal 

 border of fore-wing, except for a narrow inner-marginal greyish- 

 creamy border ; outer edge of this fuscous-brownish area irregularly 

 excavated ; all sub-marginal and hind-marginal area greyish-creamy ; 

 at base, three indistinct spots, a sub-basal transverse series of four 

 spots (one in discoidal cell), and a terminal disco-cellular spot, — all 

 greyish-creamy ; indistinct traces of one hind-marginal and two sub- 

 marginal series of small fuscous-brownish spots. Two examples. 



9 • Like (J , except that the fnscous-bro^oyiish costal-cvpical border 

 <if fore-wing is broader apically and hind-marginally and extends 

 rather further along hind-inargin, very nearly reaching \st median 

 nervule. Under-side. — Border of fore-wing and whole of hind- 

 wing of a more uniform pcde ashy-grey tint, almost without the 

 fvsGous-broivnisli clouding shown in (^ , but icith all the spots, both 

 2xde and dark, much less indistinct. Fore-u'ing : fuscous cloud and 

 two projections on inner edge of costal-apical border smaller, but 

 darker and more sharply defined ; two additional similar small 

 fuscous projections, in a line with but before the others, in discoidal 

 cell. Hind-ioing : a discal curved series of seven sub-sagittiform 

 greyish-creamy inwardly dusky-edged spots, immediately before the 

 inner of the two sub-marginal series of fuscous-brownish spots. One 

 example. 



In both sexes the head, with palpi and antennae are dull-black, 

 but the second joint of palpi is internally ochreous-yellow, and the 

 antennae are tipped witli the same colour ; there are also two spots 

 on the front, two on the vertex, and two behind the eyes, all ochreous- 

 yellow. Thorax fuscous-brownish clothed superiorly with rather 

 sparse pale ochreous-yellow scales and short hairs, and mai'ked 

 laterally and inferiorly with several indistinct pale ochreous-yellow 

 s]iots. Legs fuscous-brown, in ^ indistinctly, in $ distinctly, 

 ringed with ochreous-yellow at extremities of femur and tibia and 

 of each tarsal joint. Abdomen pale ochreous-yellow, slightly tinged 

 with greyish superiorly. 



This Dcloncura is at once distinguished from D. immacu- 

 lata, Trim., the type of the genus, by its possession on the 

 upper-side of a fuscous costal and apical border in the fore- 

 wings, and on the under-side of a greyish-creamy and 

 fuscous-brownish mottled costal-apical border in the fore- 

 wings, and similar colouring, with various paler and darker
