I have figured the type specimen of this interesting 
species which is an aberrant form of the genus, being 
without the row of hairs on the inner-margin of the hind- 
wing and also without the patch of differently placed 
scales on the large shining area of the hind-wing above. 
Family HESPERID.

¢. Allied to K. macomo, Trimen.* Upper-side dark brown with 
yellow spots and markings as in that species but with an additional 
outer-marginal row of yellow dashes placed on the nervules and 
common to both wings. An anteciliary dark line. Under-side 
uniform yellow ; fore-wing with a minute black spot at the end of 
the cell, otherwise spotless, and with the basal half only of the inner- 
margin black. Hind-wing with the central discal minute black 
spots only present. An anteciliary dark line. Cilia of fore-wing 
brown, of hind-wing yellow, on both surfaces. 
Q. Upper-side as ¢ but browner especially over basal areas.
