 no. 3697. 



Head rufous, the vertex and shaft of antennae white ; collar 

 yellow ; thorax and abdomen rufous. Fore wing bright yellow ; 

 a large rufous patch with silvery outline occupying the whole 

 basal half of inner area and conjoined to a similar rounded patch 

 filling nearly the whole outer area and crossed by an indistinct 

 slightly- waved rufous line ; thus the only parts left yellow are the 

 costa with a triangular patch from it extending to lower angle of 

 cell, the outer margin and a spot on inner margin. Hind wing 

 similar, the basal patch covering the whole base of wing and the 

 outer patch more elongate.

Differs from cyclaria in the basal rufous patches of each wing 



being smaller and well sepa- 

 rated from the outer patches, 

 which are also smaller and 

 rounder, with the silvery line 

 defining their inner edges double 

 and the rufous line crossing 

 them more waved.
