Hestia malabarica. 



Allied to H. helia, but differs on the fore wing in the costa 

 being black-streaked, the cell-spot more compact, there being 

 also a contiguous but distinct spot situated outside the cell 

 nearer the base and between the costal and subcostal veins ; 

 the discal series of spots turns to the costa more abruptly and 

 nearer to the end of the cell ; these spots are more conical and 

 have no contiguous patches on the veins ; the marginal series 

 of vein-marks are on long peduncles. On the hind wing the 

 spots are somewhat smaller. Abdomen above with a broad 

 dorsal black band. 



Exp. 5 to 5A inches.
