approaching each other at inner margin ; two post medial nearly 

 parallel lines ; an indistinct lunulate submarginal line with two 

 small dark spots on it near outer angle, either or both of which 

 may be absent ; the nervules pale ; the outer margin of both wings 

 fuscous. Underside of fore and hind wings crossed by two indis- 

 tinct lines. 



$ . Fore wins: with the lines not so parallel and more curved.

c? Differs from aconyta in the inner of the two postmedial 

 lines of the fore wing being curved and approaching the ante- 

 medial line at inner margin ; the dark spots near outer angle large ; 

 the nervules not pale ; hind wing with the basal inner area 

 clothed with red hair. 



This may be a variety of aconyta.

Dark brown, dark red-brown, or grey-brown. Pore wing some- 

 times with a chestnut patch near the base ; a white speck at end 

 of cell ; indistinct curved antemedial, medial, and two postmedial 

 lines, the last waved ; a series of grey and black submarginal 

 lunules expanding into a large spot on inner margin, each lunule 

 with a faint chestnut spot inside it, most prominent in the brown 

 specimens. 



In the Ceylon form variegata the head and thorax are rather 

 greyer ; the abdomen and hind wings browner.
