underside marked with some white mesial dots. Markings of wings all white, 

 slightlj' blnish, especiallj' on the veins of the hind wing. Forewing triangular, costal 

 margin nmch longer than hinder one, distal margin convex in front, then concave, 

 straight behind, scalloped, the sexual difl'erence in the shape of the wing much 

 greater tlian in the previous insects. 



Wings, iippcrside. Forewing : a large patch at apex of cell, variable in size ; 



in most specimens, besides, a small proximal cell-spot, often joined to the patch ; a 

 discalband as in S, but spots R^ — M- larger: spots SC'' — E' small, well separated 

 from one another, all three more or less acutel}- triangular, spot R' — M' completely 

 filling in the base of the cellule, spot M' — M- also extended to the very base of the 

 cellule in most individuals, longer than, or as long as, the following spot, which is 

 only 3 to 6 mm. short of the distal margin ; three large postdiscal spots SC° — R' 

 always present, often also a smaller spot SC* — SC'\ which is more proximal than 

 the others ; two submarginal dots R' — M-, seldom a snbmarginal dot R- — R^ ; wliite 



fringe-spots present. Hindwing : an elongate spot before and another behind C, 



the former subbasal, the latter submedian ; a large central area from SC^ to 

 abdominal margin, reaching base behind and extending beyond curvature of R^ 

 somewhat produced along the veins ; postdiscal spots as in c? ; postdiscal area 

 occasionally tawny chestnut ; submarginal series of dots incomplete as in <?, seldom 

 complete, the upper dots the smallest ; admarginal series mostly complete, but the 

 dots very small ; distal margin scalloped ; white fringe-spots distinct. 



Underside slightly more olivaceous than in c? ; markings essentially as above, 

 but forewing with four or three submarginal dots R^ — SM^, the central area of the 

 hindwing rather smaller, especially behind, and the series of submarginal and 

 admarginal dots complete. 



S ? . Neiiration : SO' of forewing anastomosed with C, seldom abbreviated and 

 not reaching C, SC^ free ; cross-veins D', D- and D' very oblique, D' and D- about 

 equal in length, D' in c? nearly equal to D-*, but in ? shorter than D', D^ very tliin 

 in upper half, but not obliterated as in madagascariensis, W of hindwing absent.
