on antemedial area, which is 

 pinkish ; a speck at end of cell ; 

 a postmedial sinuous series of 

 specks ; the outer area pink, 

 with five sinuous lines on it, 

 and some fuscous on veins 3 and 

 4; a marginal series of dark 

 specks. Hind wing white, with 

 speck at end of cell; a medial 



line, and three waved lines on outer area, often almost obsolete ; 



a marginal series of specks. Underside whitish ; both wings with

3833. Venusia lilacina, Warr. P. Z. S. 1893, p. 364, pi. 32, fig. 4. 



Differs from siklcimensis in having no pink suffusion on ante- 

 medial and outer areas of fore wing ; the subbasal and four ante- 

 medial lines less prominent ; the cell-speck almost obsolete ; the 

 1st postmedial line prominent from costa to vein 4, where it is 

 angled, and has slight orange suffusion beyond it ; the other three 

 lines of outer area obsolescent and waved. Abdomen with no 

 fuscous at base.

J . Greyish white, slightly irrorated with fuscous ; the frons 

 rufous. Fore wing with waved subbasal line, followed by three 

 less distinct lines ; a double waved antemedial line, the outer line 

 black, with a prominent oblique black line on it from costa to lower 

 angle of cell, and sending a tooth in interno-median interspace to 

 the 3rd and most prominent of the four waved postmedial lines, 

 which are produced to angles below veins 3 and 4, this 3rd line 

 being prominently black from costa to vein 3, and with a large 

 bright chestnut patch beyond its costal half extending almost to the 

 outer margin ; three waved submarginal lines bent out almost to 

 the margin between veins 2 and 4. Hind wiug whiter, \vith in- 

 distinct waved postraedial line and three submarginal lines.
