194 GROTE & ROBINSON. 



pointed but not produced ; external margin evenly outwardly rounded. 

 Basal third covered with rough or wooly dark brown scales ; this por- 

 tion of the primary wing is outwardly defined by a darker shade. 

 These dark brown rough squamae extend along the costal region to 

 the apex, and intrude obliquely downwardly twice over the middle of 

 the wing : firstly, obliquely and broadly from the costa over the discal 

 cross-vein to the first m. nervule ; this band is thrice regularly scal- 

 loped outwardly between the nervules and includes a white discal dot 

 on the cross-vein, situate just below the inception of the disco-cellular 

 nervule; secondly, more narrowly and nearer the apices, the scales 

 forming an even band extending downward to first median nervule at 

 a point where the usual transverse line crosses the nervule. This 

 transverse line is narrow and distinct, whitish, and is rounded at costa, 

 not oblique and even, and joins the costal edge at a point considerably 

 removed from the apex. The ground color of the median space is a 

 frosted purplish brown, over which the dark costal scales downwardly 

 intrude as above described. The dark scales extend again brOadly 

 and more diiFusedly downwards from the apex, bordering the trans- 

 verse line externally and irregularly, widening over the median ner- 

 vules to internal margin, and leaving the irregular terminal space of 

 the wing of a pale frosted purplish brown, over which the nervules 

 are marked with ochreous. ^ 



Secondaries full and rounded. At base thickly clothed with long 

 and very bright ochreous scales. A large black discal ocellus consist- 

 in"- of a broad blackish annulus surrounding a paler center, which 

 contains a black pupil (the discal spot) containing a few white scales. 

 Outside this ocelloid spot are two broad sub-equal even blackish bands, 

 the outer the broader, and which traverse the wing from costa to in- 

 ternal margin.' The pale dull ground color of the wing separates 

 these bands and obtains beyond the outer baud, while the even narrow 

 terminal space is concolorous with that on primaries, being purplish 

 brown, frosted with pale scales, the nervules marked with ochreous. 



Beneath of a clear pale purplish brown. On the primaries the 

 discal mark is seen and a blackish shade band indicates the narrow 

 transverse line of the upper surface. Secondaries concolorous with 

 primaries; there is a distinct white discal spot on the cross-vein and a 

 Mnt oblique dark shade band. The ground color of the wings has 

 something of a dead pink tinge beneath ; this is especially noticeable 

 on the secondaries below the median nervure. The exerted veins on 

 both wings beneath are.covered with ochreous brown scales.
