and occupying half the cell, the second also large, obliquely beneath and 

 partly beyond, the third small and obliquely above the second ; above the 

 last are three smaller spots obliquely before the apex, the two upper 

 being geminated ; in some specimens beneath the subapical spots is a small 

 dot, and on the posterior margin another, both similar to the rest ; cilia at 

 posterior angle brownish-white ; hindwing with the cilia at the anterior 

 angle brownish-white. Underside, forewing irrorated with grey scales 

 near the apex, posterior margin pale brownish-white, spots yellow as 

 above ; hindwing irrorated with grey scales in a series of bands across 

 the wing. 



Expanse : 2| to 3^ inches. 

 Habitat : Bengal." (Moore, 1. c. in P. Z. S.) 



" Larva greyish-white with a few ochreous dorsal spots and marks. 

 From the body, according to Dr. Thwaites, a loose shaggy filamentous 

 clothing consisting of pure wax is excreted, but which is easily rubbed 

 off when handled, leaving the larva quite naked. Feeds on Palmacece. 

 Pupa pale olivaceous-yellow ; the tongue spirally protruded." (Moort,Lep. 

 Cey., I. c.)

" The male of this species presents, on the upperside of each anterior 

 wing, three lines of modified scales, namely, one along the posterior side 

 of the median vein between the origins of its first and second branches, 

 another on each side of the first median veinlet from the origin of this up 

 to the second discal spot, and a third, also double, along an equal portion of 

 the submedian vein, and a thick clothing of setae paler than the ground- 

 colour at the base of the interno-median area, and a similar clothing of 

 paler setae on the middle three-fourths of the sutural area ; and, on the 

 underside, a conspicuous and equally long furry patch of pale fulvous 

 coarse setae divided by the submedian vein." ( Wood-Mason and de Niceville^ 

 J.A.S.B., i88i,p. 261). 



This species occurs commonly at Rangoon and Beeling, Upper

"This genus differs from Evionota and Gangava in having the upper 

 disco-cellular nervule of the anterior wings longer than the lower; the 

 base of the second median nervule of the anterior wings is also not 

 more than twice as far apart from lower as from upper median nervule."
