$ $ . 7J"-10". Head deep yellow. Palpi black, apex of 

 second joint yellow above. Antenna) dark fuscous. Thorax 

 black, with a white spot on each side, generally confluent 

 posteriorly. Abdomen deep golden-yellow. Legs yellow, 

 anterior and middle pair suffused with dark fuscous. Eorewings 

 moderate, somewhat dilated posteriorly, costa moderately arched, 

 hindmargin obliquely rounded ; clear white, with sharply-defined 

 black markings, forming five transverse fascia), rather variable 

 in form and intensity ; first narrow, rather oblique, close to base ; 

 second narrow, nearly straight, from costa at one-fourth to inner 

 margin at one-third ; third from before middle of costa to middle 

 of inner margin, variable, often irregular, margins sometimes 

 toothed, sometimes enclosing a small white spot on inner margin J 

 fourth rather irregular, from costa at three-fourths to inner 

 margin just before anal angle, dilated towards inner margin, 

 and generally enclosing a small white spot there ; between third 

 and fourth fascise is a small spot on costa, sometimes confluent 

 at its extremity with fourth fascia beneath costa ; fifth from 

 costa before apex to hindmargin above anal angle, connected 

 below costa by a short transverse bar with fourth ; an irregular 

 black streak along hindmargin from apex, reaching to extremity 

 of fifth fascia, attenuated beneath ; cilia dull whitish-ochreous, 

 suffused with grey towards base. Hindwings golden-yellow, 

 posteriorly rather deeper, apex with a small double suffused dark 

 fuscous spot ; cilia whitish-yellow, with an indistinct fuscous-grey 

 line near base. 



This strikingly handsome species bears some general resem- 

 blance to Caccecia desmotana, but the markings are quite differently 

 placed, and the hindwings are deeper yellow ; the forewings are 

 also rather narrower.
