'ihis species appears to be extremely variable ; in a long 

 series some forms are so mucli darkened as to almost entirely 

 lose the yellow tint and become brown or greyish brown. In 

 one variety the markings are entirely lost, except that the 

 waved metallic lines can be traced across the unicolorous 

 shining ochreous brown wings ; other varieties are almost 

 entirely pale yellow, with a sprinkling of pale grey-brown 

 scales.

Antennoi fuscous, basal joint chestnut-brown mixed with 

 pale ochreous. Palpi chestnut-brown. Head pale gre^'ish 

 ochreous. Thorax chestnut-brown, tegulas with a bluish 

 tinge. Fore wings chestnut-brown, narrowly pale ochreous 

 along the extreme costa and dorsum, with four shining 

 metallic chalybeous streaks running longitudinally ; the first 

 immediately below the costa tapers outwards from the base to 

 two-thirds the length of the wing ; the second from the 

 middle of the base along the lower margin of the cell is de- 

 flected at the end of the cell to the tornus ; the third from 

 the base below the fold to the outer extremity of the fold 

 near the tornus; the fourth commencing narrowly at about 

 one-fourth from the base, between the costal and middle 

 streaks, is widened outwards attaining the apex, and is thence 

 deflected along the termen, where it is bordered on each side
