beneath, antennee mixed with ochreous on basal half, abdomea 

 with broad whitish segmental rings, anal tuft ochreous. Fore- 

 wings elongate, triangular, costa gently arched at base, thence 

 straight, temien oblique, gently bowed ; golden-fuscous ; mark- 

 inc's shining golden-ochreous ; basal hairs golden-ochreous ; a 

 larcre rounded orange spot in posterior end of cell, sometimes 

 irregularly mixed with fuscous anteriorly ; an elongate, quad- 

 rate spot above inner margin, slightly beyond one-third from 

 base ; an irregular triangular-shaped spot above inner margin 

 before anal angle, sometimes constricted anteriorly ; an oblique 

 transverse row of 3 confluent sub-costal spots at three-fourths 

 from, base ; a moderate quadrate spot above and slightly beyond 

 second inner marginal spot ; a narrower and slightly more elon- 

 gate spot immediately above quadrate spot, only separated 

 obscurely by dividing vein ; cilia whitish ochreous, chequered 

 with blackish. HindHvings with termen irregularly rounded ; 

 color as forewings, but somewhat darker ; a broad curved 

 median orange band, anterior edge encircling cell, posterior 

 edge more or less obscurely crenulate ; cilia as in forewings. 

 Under side of forewings dull fuscous, all markings of upper side 

 reproduced ; a transverse row of 4 confluent spots along upper 

 half of termen to apex, posteriorly emarginate ; cilia as above. 

 Hindwings beneath yellow-whitish ; markings black ; a spot at 

 base ; an elongate spot on costa in middle ; a second, smaller, 

 immediately below ; a third, cartridge-shaped, very large and 

 occupying whole of cell, except an elongate median streak of 

 ground color ; a fourth, moderate, immediately below ; an irre- 

 giilar spot just before apex, followed at its anterior and pos- 

 terior extremities by a row of 5 spots, those along termen 

 being the smaller ; inner margin broadly fuscous ; cilia as in 

 forewings. 



Closely allied to the following ; best distinguished by its 

 comparatively large size, narrower band of upper side of hind- 

 wings, and special markings of under side of forewings. 



The larvae feed on Cladium, and are pale yellowish-green, 

 markings hardly traceable. Tlie pupje are blackish and have 

 two blunt projections on forehead.,
