STLEPTA. 331 



pale glossy and semi-hyaline yellow. Fore wing with ocellate 

 antemedial mark extending from costa to inner margin, enclosing a 

 pale centre, its edges rufous and steel-blue ; a steel-blue and rufous 

 wedge-shaped fascia on inner area from the antemedial mark to the 

 nearly straight black submarginal line, which expands into a spot 

 at costa and is broken near inner margin ; the discocellulars and 

 veins beyond the cell marked with rufous ; a faint diffused rufous 

 line just inside the margin ; the apex blackish, with a white spot 

 below it. Hind wing with discocellular blackish band ; the inner 

 area tinged with rufous and with three curved black bars on it ; a 

 dark submarginal line from costa to vein 2 with diffused rufous 

 beyond it.

Differs from tibialis in the fore wing having the subbasal line- 

 broken up into two spots ; the pale discocellular lunule larger ; 

 the medial line angled outwards above inner margin, so that it 

 approaches or joins the oblique line and also gives off a fascia to- 

 join the antemedial line: a brown fascia connecting the sub- 

 marginal with the marginal band above middle. Hind wing with 

 the submarginal band sending a spur inwards along vein 2 toward* 

 the medial line.

c? . Orange-yellow ; fore tibiae fuscous at extremity. Pore wing 

 with slight fuscous spots at base and near base of inner margin ; 

 traces of an oblique sinuous antemedial line ; a black spot in cell 

 and larger discocellular spot ; the outer area greyish fuscous, with 

 slightly sinuous inner edge and small orange patch on costa near 

 its inner edge. Hind wing with the basal hall: orange, with black
