 at and before hinder angle minute, distal marginal area not darker than dise above 

 and below. Hindwing : anal spots small, separate, no grey anal area. 



Underside : median line of hindwing (the most proximal one) outside cell, just 

 touching the lower angle of the same. 



Tenth tergite (PI. XXVI. f. 13) with the lobes narrowing towards end, obtusely 

 triangular. Dorso-ajiical lobe of clasper (PI. XXXIV. f. 16) obliquely trnncate, 

 as in amboinictis ; hook of harpe strongly curved, the tip jiointing basad.

the antemedian ones paler than the area between it and the distal margin. 



Hindwing with a trace of a brown postdiscal band. 



Underside. Forewing : basal two-thirds ])ale, distal area from iiiiii'r 



iliscal line to margin brownish tawny, the area sharjdy defined. Hindwing: a 



double discal line with the interspace shaded with bnjwn, followed by a rather 

 strongly curved third discal line which crosses R' midway between cell and outer 

 margin ; parallel with this line, but less distinct, is a postdiscal one.
