termen, with black spots whose white edging almost disappears in 

 the ground-colour ; a black sublunular spot closes the cell ; the 

 postmedian series consists of eight spots, two minute ones below 

 the costa, very occasionally absent, the fourth spot shifted slightly 

 out from the third, fifth oblique and extended outwards, sixth inwards, 

 seventh inwards, quite small, eighth also small outwards; a sub- 

 mai-ginal series of yellowish lunules, the three lowest ones near the 

 tornus edged internally with blackish, in other specimens the whole 

 series is edged prominently with blackish internally. Secondaries 

 whitish tinged with ochre yellov/, variable in its depth of colour 

 with white encircled black spots, a basal spot on the inner margin, 

 two subbasal spots below each other; cell closed by a prominent 

 sublunular spot; the postmedian series consists of eight spots, the 

 first below the costal vein over the sublunular cell spot, second 

 shifted right outwards, third and fourth well outwards, the latter 

 placed obliquely, fifth well inwards, sixth inwards, seventh (sub- 

 lunular) outwards, eighth well inwards; a submarginal row of 

 yellowish Imiules edged internally with blackish crescents, sometimes 

 very faint as they approach the apex ; a black marginal spot between 

 veins 2 and 3 edged internally with yellowish or orange colour, 

 above which is a marginal row of j'ellowish spots or dashes. 



9. Upperside. Primaries like the male, but surrounded by very 

 broad brown margins. Secondaries almost entirely brownish, with 

 the marginal series of spots showing through. Underside like the 

 male. One specimen is entirely brown with only a trace of a pale 

 discal area. 



Expanse, c? 40; $ 39-42 mm.

Types in the British Museum {S. A. Neave). 



This species is very nearly related to the previous one, 

 and that is nearly related to mashuna Trimen ; but I have 

 no doubt that they are all distinct, this being proved both 

 by the genitalia and the androconia. 



Genitalia with harpagines very similar to the pre\ious species, 

 but with the sickle termination less rugged, decidedly more abrupt, 

 and the hook smaller; the bristles are less abundant and much 

 finer. The aedoeagus is rather shorter and not so narrow; the 

 cingulum, tegumen and falces, are as is usual in this genus so similar 

 that it is scarcely wise to attempt much differentiation. 



Aiidi'oconia broadly oblong, parallel laterally, distaliy and 

 proximally abnost similarly arched, perhaps slightly flatter distaliy ;
