Differs from selenaria in the white forms having a rufous band 

 on second abdominal segment : the centre of cell-spots pure white ; 

 a rufous band inside the antemedial line of fore wing, and rufous 

 suffusion beyond the postmedial line, especially on apical area. 



Cornaria is a fuscous form with the underside also fuscous, 

 usually with some white marginal patches beyond the submarginal 

 band ; procursaria is a variety of this form, with the postmedial 

 line of fore wing more oblique and slightly sinuous, not waved 

 from vein 6 to inner margin. 



Acaciaria is a form with the ground-colour whitish on upper 

 and under sides, the submarginal band on the latter slightly deve- 

 loped ; illustraria, from Australia, has the black on outer area of 

 underside more extensive, whilst in determinate, from Borneo, it 

 covers nearly half the wing; in processaria, from Moulmein, there 

 is a prominent medial line to both wings excurved round the cell- 

 spot on fore wing, and sending a dark streak along vein 4 to outer
