 brown-black and white), the darker colour predominating in 

 the basal area (except at hind margin) and in the broad median 

 band, the white in the narrow, curved band between; median 

 band 6 mm. wide at costa, 4 mm. posteriorly, its proximal 

 edge slightly crenulate, its distal very slightly concave between 

 costa and the slight projection behind W, angled inward 

 at M^ and M", outward between, then shghtly crenulate to 

 hind margin, slightly indented at SM' ; cell-dot small, 

 discernible on an ill-defined pale costal space in middle of 

 median band ; whitish band outside median area very narrow ; 

 a brown line beyond it between the radials ; subterminal 

 hne very fine and indistinct, shallowly luuulate-dentate, cut 

 by an oblique apical whitish dash and accompanied distally by 

 blackish interneural dots ; terminal line broken into pairs of

Very interesting from its ob^'ious affinity to a hitherto 

 exclusively Papuan and Moluccan section of the genus ; similar 

 to hrunneata Warr. (1906), and genuflexa Prout (1923).
