(??. Paler than Indian specimens of dofho. Abdominal stigmata without 

 black dots. Forewing with one discal line, which is almost parallel to the outer 

 margin and cnrves costad at SC"', being accentuated upon the veins and sometimes 

 absent ; a second line often vestigial, situated nearer cell. The pale marginal 

 area of the hindwing more extended than in clotho clotho, nearly as much as in 

 clotho cdntd. We have not noticed any constant differences in the sexual armature 

 between gnoma and clotho. 



Early stages not known.

 jialpns as sharply defined as in i nor not a, Ituta.'i, etc.

 not very distinct on the head. 



Wings, above. Forewing : basal half shad<'d witli brown ; a black stigma ; 



a single black line (in one of the three specimens barely vestigial), about 5 mm. 

 from outer margin at SO', a short apical line, separate or joining the discal line ; 

 outer margin convex, fringe nuicolorons. Hindwing : the greater part brown.
