456 Mr. J. H. Leech on Lepidoptera Heterocera 



the discal spot is black and there are two black dots at the 

 base of wing. On the secondaries the arrangement of black 

 dots and pink-grey bands corresponds with that on primaries, 

 except that there are only two black dots and the discal spot 

 between the central series and the base of the wing. Fringes 

 pinky grey. Under surface whitish ; discal spot on all the 

 wings black, larger than above and followed by a transverse 

 series of short black dashes on the riervules ; two outer series 

 of dots as on upperside, but those of primaries obscured by 

 a band of grey. 



Female. Similar to the male, but the wings are rather 

 more ample, and the outer margin of primaries rounder j the 

 pinky-grey suffusion is more restricted to basal area.
