to those of U. costistrigari'a, but the bands, which are fuligi- 

 nous grey in colour, are narrower, and there are fewer streaks 

 on the costa, and these are confined to the basal area with 

 the exception of a streak between the first transverse baud 

 and the sliort central band ; on the outer area of the wing 

 there is a fuliginous grej band, which is very broad towards 

 apex, but tapers slightly to the first median nervule, whence 

 it is continued in slender streaks to inner angle : on the 

 secondaries the transverse band is also narrower and the cloud 

 onouterareais greyish and suffused with paleochreous. Above 

 the tail, which is rather broader and more obtusely produced, 

 there is a large reddish spot, and below it another spot of the 

 same colour ; both are ringed with black, and there is an 

 elongated black spot nearer the anal angle. Under surface : 

 markings of upperside reproduced, but the central bands are 

 fainter and narrower and that on outer area much darker.; 

 the secondaries have some dark grey shading along outer 

 margin.

Wiiite ; primaries traversed by two rather broad oblique 

 brownish bands, becoming blackish towards costa; a siiorter 

 and narrower band between them, commencing in a darker 

 spot on costa and terminating in first median interspace; 

 basal area of costa streaked with dark brown ; these streaks 

 are short near the base, but the outermost extend almost to 

 submedian nervure ; the outer third is heavily striated and 

 clouded with fuliginous ; the costa between the broad bands is 

 also streaked with brownish; fringes brown from apex to just 

 above termination of submedian nervure, and thence white, 

 except where interrupted by continuation of the broad trans- 

 verse bands : secondaries traversed by an oblique brownish 

 band irom fork of subcostal nervure to a large cloud of the 

 same colour on outer area ; the abdominal area of the wing 

 is clothed, except towards anal angle, with long silky hairs 

 of a creamy colour ; above the tail, which is obtusely pro- 

 duced, there is a reddisli spot ringed witii black, and below it 

 there is an elongated blackish mark ; fringes fulvous brown, 

 except at costal and anal angles. Head snowy white ; face 

 brown ; collar creamy. Under surface white, discal markings 

 on upper surface of primaries faintly reproduced ; outer area 

 broadly fuliginous as far as submedian nervure ; the second-
