the median nervure ; a spot on the middle of the costa ; a distinct black spot at end o£ cell, 

 with a small one on the costa above it, and two below it near the submedian nervure ; a 

 waved and broken indistinct submarginal band, beginning on the costa as a distinct blotch ; 

 a series of antecilial specks. Cilia ochreous white, a few of them black. Hind wing slightly 

 darker. Antennae, head, thorax, and abdomen whitish. 



Closely allied to ^. nilglrica, but the ground-colour of the fore wing is whiter, and all 

 the markings are larger and more distinct. 



iEmene quinquefascia. (Plate CXL. fig. 15.) 



Expanse f inch. 



Male and female. Fore wing ash-colour, with five irregular waved black bands j a black 

 spot near base, with one above it on costa ; the first band subbasal, followed by a spot in 

 centre of cell ; the second band, which is diffused, immediately after it ; a black lunule at 

 end of cell ; with the third band below it, from first median nervule to inner margin, and the 

 fourth across the wing immediately beyond it ; followed by the fifth, a difi"used band, from 

 costa to second median nervule; a series of antecilial black spots. Hind wing whitish in 

 male, fuscous in female. Underside : fore wing sufl'used with fuscous, the apex and apical 

 portion of costa ochreous. 



Allied to JE. taprobanis, but darker, with more numerous and diffused, but less curved,

 patch on the costa two thirds from base, and another on the outer margin at exterior angle. 

 Antennae, head, collar, and anal tuft of male yellow ; thorax and abdomen brown. 



Nearest to P. marginata, which is larger, and has all the margins and the thorax and 

 abdomen yellow.

Female. Fore wing dark brown, the area near the outer angle paler ; irregular ochreous 

 costal and exterior bands composed of series of triangular patches, the costal series diminishing 

 in size from the base to the apex, the exterior series from the outer angle to the apex ; one
