l):irt'ly traceable in the centre, but forinin<^ large quadrate 

 spots at its extremiries, and an uneven series of large, more 

 or less quadrate, marginal s|)ots, dusky greyish ; veins termi- 

 nating in black-brown spots on the fringe : body below 

 dusky, clothed with yellow hair, the tibiai and tarsi ochreous 

 below; venter with pale yellowish bands, ochreous at anal 

 extremity. 



Expanse of wings 38 millini. 



The female has all the dusky markings on the under surface 

 replaced by distinct chocolate-brown, so that the character of 

 the secondaries approaches somewhat nearer in aspect to that 

 of some of the Oriental species.

? . Most like K. fenestratus on the upper surface, but the 

 fringes sandy brovvn ; the hyaline spots below the end of the 

 cell larger, placed less obliquely, and only divided by the 

 blackish second median branch ; the interno-median spot 

 larger, ochreous; the subapical spots larger, the uppermost 

 spot minute, opaque, ochreous ; the discoidal cell and internal 

 area of secondaries clothed with ochreous hairs. Below, there 

 is no resemblance, the colouring reminding one of some of 

 the smaller Geometrites of the Ennomid group: primaries 

 blackish ; costal border ochraceous, suffused with vinous 

 towards the base, expanding into a triangular bright ochreous 

 patch (enclosing the hyaline spots) towards apex ; the sub- 

 apical hyaline spots with blackish external margins ; the 

 tiiangular patch is also partly bounded externally by an 

 oblique blackish macular streak and by a wide ferruginous 

 brown border which tapers at each extremity ; fringe vinous 

 brown ; internal area somewhat greyish ; interno-median 

 spot whitish : secondaries bright ochreous; the costal border, 

 internal area, and outer border ferruginous ; four dark ferru- 

 ginous spots on the basal thud, two in the cell, the other two 

 above and below it, forming a diamond pattern; a large sub- 

 costal quadrate spot, washed with lilacine and partly black- 

 edged, beyond these, and a small bifid spot lying obliquely 

 beyond this again ; a prominent, straight, slightly tapering, 

 dark ferruginous band from submedian vein to apex, and 

 beyond this an impel feet dark ferruginous line partly limiting
