costal nerviire, one near the origin of the upper and lower 

 radials, one between the second and third median branches, 

 and two near the apex : posterior wings rounded at the 

 anterior angle; a sootj-brown patch surrounded by glossy 

 brown occupies the costal half of the wing to the median 

 nervure ; outer margin and region of the median nervure 

 black ; rest of the wing grey, with yellow scales about the 

 inner margin and anal angle. Beneath glossy brown : anterior 

 wings with a large central fuliginous patch ; outer extremity 

 of the costa variegated with whitish : outer margin of the hind 

 wings and the region of the anal angle yellowish ; a yellow 

 spot at the extremity of the precostal nervure.

Ohs. Similar in form and the position of its markings to L. 

 nemesis^ Latr., but differs chiefly in the markings of both 

 wings being grey instead of yellow.

^ . Exp. 2'40 in. Antennae, head, and thorax black ; 

 palpi black, with scattered grey hairs ; abdomen black above, 

 whitish beneath : apex of the anterior wings rounded, outer 

 margin slightly concave ; black, with a wide patch of clear 

 yellow extending almost from the costa over the anterior angle 

 of the cell and beyond it to the second median branch ; this 

 patch is somewhat concave, and is cut by the black nervures 

 the upper discocellular showing like an acute black projection 

 near the apex are three faint yellowish spots placed obliquely 

 posterior wings produced, slightly pointed at the end of the 

 subcostal, and, as in other members of the genus, silky white 

 at the base and along the inner margin, the region of the outer 

 angle brownish ; outer and inner margins and region of the 

 median nervure black, enclosing an irregidar oval patch of 

 white. Anterior wings beneath cretaceous white on the inner 

 portion ; costal region silky grey, variegated with white, 

 especially at the apex : posterior wings silky grey variegated 

 with white about the base and outer margin ; a band of glossy 

 white, cut by the nervures, crosses the wing through the end 

 of the cell ; two other prominent spots of the same colour are 

 placed, one between the third median branch and lower radial, 

 the other between the costal and subcostal nervures ; there are 

 also two orange spots at the base of the wing — one over the 

 precostal, the other between the median and submedian 

 nervures.
