bright darkish chestnut red ; this has its apex slightly scalloped, 
whilst the broad whitish one is evenly arched; these scales 
are not erect though they are placed at a high angle. On the 
underside of the wing we find a very slight diversion of the 
scales under this brand, they are practically not altered in 
shape but the position is diverted, and instead of being hori- 
zontally placed as usual, these have their apices turned towards 
the costa in an irregular manner. Before leaving the Indian 
subregion I would draw attention to another beautiful species 
with an entirely different brand. I refer to Arrhenothryx 
pencilligera, a lovely brilliant pale blue species with a brand 
(a tuft of hair scales and patch) on the upperside of the 
primaries as well as on the underside, and also with another 
brand on the secondaries. The ordinary scales are of typical 
Ruralid patterns, in this instance all longish and rather 
narrow with dentate apices. The brands on the upperside 
consist of a very long tuft of white hair scales that sweep over 
and terminate on a brown sex mark; the former rises below 
the angle of vein 2, about the middle of the fold, from a patch 
of long broadish erect scales of a neutral tint colour that are 
densely packed together, which show distinctly on the micro- 
scopic slide the holes from which the hair-scales have been 
removed on to another slide; these scales are like thick white 
hairs, very long and coming from the membrane in a bold 
curve (necessitated by the fact that they rise in a sex brand 
of long erect scales); they then sweep downwards over the 
wing, terminating in another curve on a second sex mark 
consisting of long pale brownish scales with scalloped apices, 
which are not erect but are placed at an angle of about 45° 
and in a circular position all more or less facing a point about 
direct with the tornus; this sex mark follows the position 
of the tuft at first, but expands somewhat to a circular shape 
above vein 1. The tuft on the underside of the primaries 
is equally long and of quite similar white hairs that rise on 
the inner margin rather nearer the base than is the brand on 
the upperside, but the tuft sweeps forwards in a bold curve 
and terminates on a patch of ordinary white scales; those 
on the marginal area immediately below the hairs appear to 
be the ordinary brownish basal scales, only more transparent
