broad antemediau baud, the strongly curved second discal line and the iiromiueiit

?. Only one rather worn example known. It belongs, we think, to this 

 species. Differing from Java specimens in the blackish brown discal band of the 

 forewing being bmader, in the grey space outside it and the grey jiostdiscal line 

 not being interrupted, and in the yellosv band of tiie hindwing being much liroader, 

 imt interrupted (th(! black basal scaling partly rubbed away in the specimen).
