middle of the costa intersected by a brown line and sur- 
rounded by dark brown suffusion, two small round orange 
spots in the suffusion near the lower outer end of the square 
patch ; transverse lines dark brown, the first subbasal, the 
second and third antemedial, somewhat close together and 
parallel with each other, very sinuous, ending outwards to 
the middle of the hindey margin, the outer one at its upper 
end edging the inner side of the square orange patch ; two 
similar lines from the costa beyond the middle to the hinder 
margin near the hinder angle, the upper portion of the inner 
one edging the small round orange spots ; a short pale brown 
band on the costa near the apex of the wing, which is attached 
to a broader pale brown marginal band which narrows hind- 
ward to a point at the hinder angle ; cilia dark brown: hind 
wing grey, whitish at the costal space, the outer margin 
suffused with brown; cilia grey. Palpi, head, and thorax 
brown, the fore part of the thorax with ochreous hairs, the 
first two joints of the palpi with a white line beneath ; abdo- 
men dark grey. Underside: body and wings grey, the cell-

9. Fore wing milk-white with very minute chocolate- 
coloured irrorations; the markings pale chocolate-brown ; an 
indistinct short line from the costa at the base ; a band of 
conjoined somewhat square marks from the costal third to 
near the middle of the hinder margin, the band consisting of 
two somewhat sinuous lines crossed by six lines forming the 
squares ; a somewhat similar but broader band divided by the 
cross-lines into four parts, its upper portion somewhat 
suffused, the band extending from the costa beyond the 
middle to near the hinder angle, its lower half with a short 
pale brown band attached to its outer side ; a triangular pale 
brown patch on the outer margin a little above the middle ; 
cilia pale orange with brown spots, except at its upper and 
lower parts, where it is concolorous with the wings with
