 with yellowish brown scales. These form a deep shade over the basal 

 half of the wing, terminating distally by a curved edge running 

 nearly parallel with the wing-margin, and leaving a small area of the 

 yellow ground-colour at and beyond the end of the cell. Broad 

 rays of a paler shade of yellowish brown accompany the distal por- 

 tions of the veins as they traverse the yellow marginal area. The 

 veins themselves, with their branches, share in the ochre yellow of 

 the ground-colour. There is a conspicuous dark brown spot, larger

 to the origin of the radial. The costa is edged with rich orange, 

 and the same colour is prolonged round the base of the wing as far 

 as the origin of the subcostal vein. 



The third subcostal branch of the fore-wing is present in a rudi- 

 mentary form on the right side of the male type and both sides 

 of the female type. It appears to be absent from the left side of the 

 male type, and from both sides of another female in the Hope 

 Collection.
