228 Mr. E. Meyrick's descriptions of 



lower median vein in male clothed with long hairs on under 

 sm-face ; fuscous, violet-shining ; inner margin in male hroadly, in 

 female very narrowly, suffused with pale whitish yellowish ; lines 

 slender, somewhat darker, indistinct, slightly waved ; first from 

 one-sixth of costa to one-fourth of inner margin, straight, some- 

 times obsolete ; second from two-thirds of costa to three-fourths of 

 inner margin, slightly curved outwards, somewhat irregular ; a 

 small round dark fuscous discal spot near costa at one-third, and a 

 narrow transverse spot before middle ; cilia fuscous. Hind wings 

 with inner margin in male longitudinally folded, fold clothed with 

 hairs ; shining whitish yellowish ; a dark fuscous transverse discal 

 spot considerably before middle ; a moderate fuscous violet-shining 

 hind-marginal band, in male darker and more violet but obsolete 

 at apex ; in female an indistinct or faint fuscous irregular line, 

 near and tolerably parallel to anterior edge of hind-marginal band ; 

 cilia in male dark fuscous, in female ochreous-yellowish with a 

 fuscous line. 



This is the extreme form of the genus ; the inner- 

 marginal fold in the hind wings of male is more or less 

 indicated in the other species, but not in such a pro- 

 nounced form.
