Hob. Hue, Annam. 



Somewhat resembles Hampson's figure of Amsacta flavi- 

 margo f from Bhamo, Burma, the unique type in Mus. 

 Geneva, but there are many points of difference, besides 

 which the antennae have not got white tips and the abdomen 

 is yellow, not scarlet as stated in the text, though yellow in 

 the plate ; it also resembles a spotless Jactinea of Cramer.
