suflfusion ; exterior line tliin and interrupted from the eosta 

 as far as the radial, thence to near tlie anal anisic forming a 

 broad bhack streak, preceded at its lower end by two parallel 

 brown-black streaks runnin;^ at right angles to it, the upper 

 one the finer of the two, from below the reniform stigma to 

 the anal angle ; orbicular stigma oval, reniform kidney-shaped, 

 both distinct, filled up with yellowish, the reniform with a 

 smaller flat oval attached to it at the to)) ; a cloudy, fuscous, 

 submarginal line, most distinct towards the costa, where it is 

 formed by roundish wedge-shaped markings ; fringes white, 

 with a black dot at the end of each vein. Ilind wings white, 

 with a thick mass of blackish scales close to the base, a yellow, 

 dark-edged, ocelloid, discal spot, and a blackish submarginal 

 line, more or less interrupted in the middle, visible as a thin 

 curved line from the costa, and becoming a thick black blotch 

 near the anal angle ; the apex also with a blackish blotch ; 

 fringes as in fore wings, but with an indistinct small blackish 

 dot in the fringe beyond each basal dot. Head, thorax, and 

 abdomen more or less covered with intense black-brown 

 scales ; palpi and antennae brownish. Underside of abdomen

 first line fine, brown, curved, separated from the basal blotch 

 by a narrow white interspace j exterior line brown, double, 

 the outer fainter than the inner portion, starting from costa 

 close before the apex and running straight as far as the second 

 median nervule, where it is slightly elbowed externally, then 

 running inwards between the first and second median nervules 

 to touch the base of the reniform stigma, where it again 

 curves round and is lost in the suffusion of the inner margin ; 

 reniform stigma oblique, quadrangular, yellowish, with fine 

 dark edges ; fringe white. Hind wings white, with a large 

 discal spot, yellow-centred and broadly edged with brown ; a
