432 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



pale and indistinct ; some scattered dark fuscous scales towards 

 costa and base, sometimes forming a small spot near base in 

 middle ; an indistinct narrow transverse streak about one-third, 

 parallel to hind margin, not reaching costa, containing a small 

 irregular black spot in middle ; an irregular fascia from costa at 

 three-fourths, upper half slender, moderately curved outwards, 

 thence tolerably straight to inner margin at two-thirds, lower half 

 moderately broad; two small transversely placed blackish discal 

 spots above angle of this, partially connected anteriorly so as to 

 form a crescentic mark ; a moderate irregular fascia at five-sixths, 

 rather suddenly contracted at one-third and two-thirds ; a blackish 

 subterminal line near and parallel to hind margin, separated from 

 a narrow hind marginal light ochreous-yellow unmargined fascia 

 by a white line ; cilia whitish, with a blackish hne interrupted mto 

 sj)ots. Hind wings white ; an indistinct blackish line near base ; a 

 fine blackish median line from middle of inner margin, above 

 middle furcate and sending two branches to costa, second beyond 

 middle, curved ; a nioderate iiTegular light ochreous-yellow fascia 

 about three-fourths, irregularly blackish-margined, contracted 

 towards costa, enaitting a projection posteriorly above middle ; 

 subterminal line, hind marginal fascia, and cilia as in fore wings. 



Readily known by the white ground colour, ochreous- 

 yellow markings, double blackish discal spot of fore

 from two-thirds of costa to three-fifths of inner margin, projecting 

 outwards in an irregular curve above middle, forming a small spot 

 on costa, sometimes with an obscure yellowish spot below middle ;
