oehreous-yellowish ; second line dark fuscous, waved, from three- 

 fourths of costa to two-thirds of inner margin, rather abruptly 

 sinuate inwards beneath middle ; a blackish hind-marginal line ; 

 cilia whitish-yellowish, with an apical spot, a subapical dash, 

 median and anal spots dark grey. Hind wings with colour and 

 markings as in fore wings, but purple-fuscous ground colour, 

 together with first line, ceasing abruptly below middle and replaced 

 by whitish-ochreous, in which second line is obscurely indicated 

 with fuscous ; no discal spot.

Nosophora, Ld. 

 Nosophora chironalis, Walk. 



Botys chironalis, Walk., 683 ; Nosophora chironalis,

 description of the hind wings doubtless went by con- 

 jecture.
