(J . Wings almost wholly hyaline. Fore-w/ng : a very few black 

 scales along costal margin, and a narrow edging of dense black 

 scaling along inner margin. Hind-tving : a densely scaled black 

 edging along costa, broad at base and narrowing to a point a little 

 beyond extremity of discoidal cell; anal-angnlar and inner- 

 marginal area also black with intermixed greyish hairs. Neuration 

 yellowish, with some sparse black scales. Underside the same. 



Head, palpi, and antennae dark brown. Thorax yellowish-brown 

 above, but fuscous in front, on sides, and beneath; legs brown, the 

 femora densely tufted with mixed greyish and yellowish hair. Abdo- 

 men black above and on sides, yellowish-grey beneath, tufted with 

 short bristly black hairs laterally, and with long ones at extremity. 



$. Wings Hack; the fore -nnng with nnmerons irregularly grouped 

 small hyaline spots, most prevalent in discal area. Fore-wing : on 

 costal margin, from base to middle, 6 separate short hyaline marks 

 of varying width ; below these, in discoidal cell, a series of 6 

 minute spots in pairs; below median nervure 3 sub-basal larger 

 and more elongate spots ; the numerous irregularly placed discal and 

 submarginal spots form little clusters most diverse in the number 

 and size of their respective components ; immediately beyond the 

 outermost of these succeeds a more regular series of seven little 

 groups situated along hind-marginal edge ; an inwardly oblique 

 ante-median rather wide irregular space from subcostal to sub- 

 median nervure is without spots, and so is a narrower outwardly 

 oblique sub-apical sjiace from costa to near middle of hind-margin. 

 Hind-tving : black duller, shading into greyish -fuscous outwardly, 

 unspotted ; costa with a rather narrow shining silvery -grey border 

 from base as far as the abrupt downward flexure. Underside like 

 the upperside, except that in fore-wing the inner margin is shining 

 fuscous-grey below submedian nervure, and in hind-whig the costal 

 border is not silvery -grey but dull fuscous like rest of wing. 



Head, palpi, and antennae black. Thorax above has been almost 

 denuded in the specimen under description (but in Felder's figure 

 of the type example is shown as very densely clothed with mixed 

 fuscous and yellowish-grey hair) ; it retains some rather long inter- 

 mixed thin grey and terminally thickened black hairs in front and 

 laterally; beneath, also, there are remains of similar hairy clothing; 

 legs black, the femora and tibiae densely tufted with hairs similarly 

 mingled. Abdomen has been denuded laterally, but retains along
