the second, third, and fourth in 6, 5, and 4 further from end of 

 cell and in a straight line at right angles to costa, iifth in 3, 

 separate and rather nearer margin. A spot in 2 just under 

 origin of 3, beneath this and slightly nearer base, a spot in lb,, 

 and in same area a subbasal spot just beyond middle of first 

 section of median. Sometimes a slight black basal suffusion 

 in lb. 



H.-w. with a slight black basal suffusion, and a narrow black 

 hind-marginal line on which are rather ill-defined flat inter- 

 nervular arches enclosing small marks of the ground-colour. 

 Black spots corresponding to those beneath but often rather 

 faintly indicated near inner margin. 



Underside. F.-w. very thinly scaled and shiny. Usually 

 two black spots at base of costa. Otherwise as above. H.-w, 

 pale pinkish ochreous with a few pink marks at base. Hind- 

 marginal border as above but very clearly traced, and enclosed 

 spots rather yellower than ground-colour. Black spots as 

 follows : — Two in 7 near middle and rather close together, one 

 in 6 nearer margin and one in 5 still nearer margin, in 4 a 

 spot about 1 mm, from end of cell, and beneath it but nearer 

 margin, a spot in 3. One in 2 close to median, beneath it and 

 nearer margin a spot in Ic, and a spot in lb on a level with 

 that in 2. A minute spot in 8 near precostal, two in cell, a 

 basal and a subbasal in Ic^ close to the latter a spot in lb 

 followed by a spot in la, another larger spot in same area 

 nearer base. A small black mark in area 9, Very rarely 

 a minute black dot at base of 5 on m,d.c. Fringes pale 

 ochreous. 



Head and thorax black with ochreous tufts. Base of abdomen 

 black with pale lateral spots, remainder creamy white. Claws 

 unequal. 



$ . Expanse 42-48 mm. 



f. 1. Like the ^ but wings more rounded, and ground-colour 

 duller. H,-w, marginal black with little indication of pale 

 internervular marks, and on the underside enclosing whitish 

 spots. Abdomen black above with white segmental lines and 

 lateral spots. 



f. 2. Like f, 1, but f.-w. ground-colour pale grey with indi- 

 cations of a white subapical bar beyond the discal spots, H,-w. 

 white with a dusky suffusion at base, costa, and along inner edge 

 of marginal border. Inner margin yellowish. 



Intermediates between these two $ forms occur, and the 

 difference does not appear to be seasonal, as all the 38
