thickly lined \vith long hairs. Cilia fuscous, spotted with whiiish. 

 Below oclirey bro\vn, the anterior vvings with a minute dark brown 

 spot in the cell close to the base ; a large, inegular, subtriangular, 

 dark brown patch before the middle, divided in the cell by a spot of 

 the ground colour. Beyond the middle is a much-\vaved abbreviated 

 brown striga, and a similar one extends along the whole outer mar- 

 giu. Between these two strigas is a transverse band of a vinous 

 bro-wn, commencing at the apex and extending to the middle of the 

 inner margin, narrow at its commencement, broad at its termination, 

 \vhere it occupies nearly the w'hole space from the middle of the 

 wings to the anai angle, and is divided by a faint ochrey cloud. 

 Posterior wings with a broad reddish brown band aeross the middle, 

 divided by a pale ochreous spot near the costa, beyond which is a 

 paler bro\vn cloud. Near the margin is a much-w'aved brown striga, 

 and the outer angle is brown. Near the base is a somewhat reni- 

 form brown spot, paler in the centre, and belo\v it a ring of the šame 

 colours. 



Head, thorax and abdomen fuscous above, rufescent belo\v. An- 

 tennse very long, black.

Above, aU the vi'ings fulvous, \vith a broad black border exter- 

 nally, broadest on the posterior wings, marked on the outer margin 

 of the anterior with a senes of fulvous dots between the nervules, 

 and on the posterior just vi^ltbin the margin with a series of lunules 

 also placed between the nervules ; this border is irregularly dentate 

 ■svithin on the anterior wings, and divided near the apex by a row of 

 four fulvous dots ; not dentate iuternally on the posterior wings, but 

 less defined, being slightly shaded into the fulvous. The base both 

 of the anterior and posterior wings is slightly shaded -vvith fuscous, 

 and the anterior are marked, in the cell, \vith two rounded spots, an 

 elongate subquadrate one on the disco-cellular nervules, a sub- 

 quadrate one immediately beyond the cell above the third median 

 nervule, a longer one immediately below this, and another broadly 

 lunate between the first and second median ner\'ule, all black. Be- 

 tween these spots and the black margin is a short submacular band 

 extending from the costa to the second disco-cellular nervule. Outer 

 margin of anterior \vings sinuate, dentate, of posterior dentate, cau- 

 date. 



Below, the anterior vvings are bright deep fulvous at the base and 

 along the costa beyond the middle of the -vvings ; marked as above 

 with black spots and a short marginai black band, but all these mark-
