^ Broivn, with a ivarm oclireous-ydlow discal transverse la7id common 

 to loth ivings. Fore-wing : the band begins very narrowly on upper 

 radial nervule, but widens greatly downwards till it occupies about the 

 outer third of inner marginal edge ; externally the band is bounded 

 by a lunulate submarginal black streak, and internally by a broad, 

 obscure, chocolate-red band extending from costa to inner margin ; 

 on costa near apex a short row of two to four very faint small ochreous- 

 yellow spots indicate actual origin of the band of that colour ; before 

 middle two obscure, irregular, transverse fuscous streaks, of which 

 the outer internally edges the obscure chocolate-red band ; also, 

 two cellular striolre, one near base, the other at extremity of cell ; a 

 hind-marginal narrow border of mixed brown and ochreous-yellow, the 

 yellow predominating at posterior angle. Jlind-wivg : ochreous-yellow 

 band very wide, occupying apical area and extending pretty evenly 

 to inner margin before and up to anal angle, leaving a border of 

 the ground-colour only along its middle portion, and that of variable 

 width and distinctness ; lunulate black submarginal streak more con- 

 spicuous than in fore-wing, becoming silvery-edged in its lower 

 portion ; hind-marginal brownish-ochreous border traversed by a 

 broken indistinct fuscous streak ; before middle, two very obscure 

 fuscous streaks continuous of those in fore-wing. Cilia fuscous, with 

 white inter-nervular marks. Under side. — Brownish-grey, much varied 

 tvith transverse irregular ferruginous streaks and tliin lolnte or whitish 

 lines; in both wings the following thinly white-edged ferruginous 

 streaks before middle, viz., a short cellular one (smaller in hind- 

 wing), a long one from costa to submedian nervure crossing cell, an 

 almost linear even one at extremity of cell, and a broader very irre- 

 gular one quite across wing beyond cell ; a little beyond this latter 

 streak, an irregular whitish line (sometimes indistinct), which in hind- 

 wing runs near and almost parallel to the ferruginous streak. Fore- 

 wing : immediately beyond whitish line just mentioned a ferruginous 

 transverse bar, widest on costa ; succeeded by a row of eight small 

 lunulate marks, of which the first (on costa) is white and all the 

 others ochreous-yellow ; beyond the lunules a paler space traversed 

 inwardly by a more or less distinct white or whitish streak ; two 

 hind-marginal, lunulated, parallel white linear streaks (of which the 

 inner one is silvery), obscured by a ferruginous cloud both below apex 

 and a little above posterior angle. Hind-wing : a similar arrange- 

 ment of markings to that in fore-wing ; in the row of seven lunules 

 the two near costa are usually creamy-yellow and conspicuous, the
