260 Mr. H. Druce's Descriptions of 



upper-surface, with sordid white-ringed spots and markings. Prim- 

 aries : a large spot at the end of the cell ; an ultramedian hand of six 

 chain-like spots running almost in a straight line from the subcostal 

 nervure to the submedian nervure, the two lower links being placed 

 slightly nearer to the base, then two submarginal rows of pale 

 sagittate lunules and a pale marginal line. Secondaries : two 

 distinct black spots on the costal margin, another about the middle 

 of the cell, and two more on the anal margin, one about the middle, 

 the other near the base. A. large sordid white-ringed brown spot 

 near the end of the cell, then an irregular, much broken band con- 

 sisting of sordidwhite-ringed spots, commencing below the black spot 

 near the middle of the costal margin and reaching to the submedian 

 nervure ; beyond this band are two rows of sagittate pale markings 

 and a pale marginal line as in the primaries. A deep black spot, 

 bordered outwardly with rich metallic scales and broadly crowned 

 and partially surrounded by rich orange, is placed between the lower 

 median nervules close to the base. Cilia of both wings brown. 



Abdomen brown above, paler below ; legs brown ; head brown, 

 eyes white-ringed. Palpi white, with black tips. 



5 . Differs only from the £ on the upper-side by having a large, 

 black, orange-crowned spot on the hind-wing near the margin, placed 

 between the lower median nervules. On the under-side of the fore- 

 wing there is a minute dot above the subcostal nervure at the end 

 of the chain-like band. The orange-crowned spot on hind-wing is 

 more conspicuous and there are traces of orange scales near the anal 

 angle.

This species, which at first sight appears of a general 

 type, is not very closely allied to any with which I am 

 acquainted.

Allied to Gyclopides formosus, Butl.* Upper-side blackish-brown

 margin thickly dusted with yellow scales. A minute spot about the 

 middle of the costa, and a rather larger one in the cell, below it. An 

 ultra-median band, consisting of various sized irregular spots, reaching 

 from the costa to the inner margin, the spot next to the costal spot
