cJ. Similar to metallica in colour. Forewing : sinus below apex vestigial 



or unite absent, cliscal lines a little more longitudinal than in .viii/ata, the first 

 being at hinder margin nearer the base than in sinuata, the three outer ones 

 not reaching 8C% first and second also obsolescent near costal margin ; a distinct 

 double snbmarginal line, parallel to outer margin. Pale band of hindwing a 

 little wider than in xi/iuata, nearly reaching costal margin, but much obscured 

 by brown scaling in upper half. 



Uiiih'rsi<lc as in mHallira, but discal line of forewing more oblique, abbreviated, 

 a pair of more distinct snbmarginal lines with whitish interspace, brown sub- 

 marginal patch R'— K- smaller, far less produced pro.ximad. Third discal line 

 of hindwing as heavy as or heavier than first (accentuated by vein-dots). 



S. Tenth tergite rather broader than in xin'/af/i and mi'tallica, less convex 

 above, apex more broadly sinnate. Harpe slenderer than in metallica, agreeing far 

 better with that oi automedon (PI. IL. f. 2), but being shorter.

<S ? . The sexes rather diiferent in colour. Mesothoracic tegula with metallic, 

 pale golden, ajtical fringe, these metallic scales few in number, but large. Middle 

 of thorax and first abdominal tergites broadly greyish clay-colour ; a few white 

 battledore-shajjed scales laterally at tlic apices of the third to sixth tergites. 



Wings tomewhat scalloped, fringe heavily dotted with black. Forewing 



slightly sinuate below apex ; first discal line not quite straight, ending in a 

 black costal spot situated just in i'ront ui' the subcostal fork, third and fourth 

 lines dentate, accentuiited l)y vein-dots, geniTally vestigial lietween veins ; a brown 

 triangular marginal cloud from IC backwards, sejjarating a pale, more or less 

 triangular, area from distal nuirgiu.
