angle of cell in nearly straight line to apex ; a very indistinct sub- 

 terminal 'shade ; terminal area paler ; a minute white speck on 

 discocellulars surrounded by obscure rufous spot, the enclosing line 

 of which is merely indicated by four dots on median and veins 

 4, 5 and 6. Hind-wings dull pink ; a scalloped black sub-terminal 

 line thickly irrorated with steel-blue scales, followed by a reddish- 

 brown scalloped band ; terminal band pinkish-fawn ; termen finely 

 brown ; cilia pinkish-fawn ; ocellus black surrounded by a lemon- 

 yelloM' ring ; a clear white discocellular lunule surrounded by a 

 patch of mixed fuscons and yellow scales defined by narrow yellow 

 line. Under-side dull yellow irrorated with brown ; fore-wings 

 a crenulate oblique fuscous postmedial line ; a large black spot 

 with white central dot on discocellulars : hind-wings, a crenulate 

 brown jjostmedial line ; an indistinct diffused brown sub-terminal 

 line ; a minute white discocellular lunule. 



9 . Body fuscous-brown, thorax posteriorly tinged with lAnk. 

 Fore-wings fuscous-brown, lines as in $ but the antemedial very 

 obscure and rufous, the postmedial inwardly whitish, outwardly rufous 

 followed by dark shade. Hind-wings pink suft'used with brown on

^. Head and thorax dark brown; antennae light ochreous-brown ; 

 abdomen dark rufous, dorsally banded with black. Fore-wings 

 brown ; a very irregular fuscous sub-terminal shade, sharply defined 

 outwardly, sliading inwardly to lighter, boldly scalloped above veins 

 2 and 3, sharply receding inwardly on vein 4 ; a white line out- 

 wardly shaded wtih fuscous from base of costa, passing through 

 middle of cell where it bends violently downwai'ds to a j^oint well 

 below the cell on vein 2, from there to vein 5 just beyond cell and 

 thence to near apex, the space enclosed by this line dark brown ; a 

 similar white s-shaped line from base to inner margin near tornus, 

 nearly reaching median fold opposite angle of the upper line, enclosing 

 dark space ; a diffused fuscous discal spot. Hind-wings light fuscous- 

 brown, veins and terminal area darker, some reddish-brown hairs at 

 base and on inner margin ; a geminate dark sub-terminal line ; a 

 diffused fuscous discal spot. Under-side : light brown suffused with 

 fuscous ; difi'used fuscous postmedial and sub-terminal bands on both 

 wings, the postmedial on fore- wing strongly incurved.
