in posterior end of cell, rarely obsolete ; a small roundish spot 

 almost touching apex of stigma; an oblique transverse row 

 of 3 small sub-costal spots, at about two-thirds from base, some- 

 times edged with fuscous ; stigma hyaline, broadly edged with 

 black on either side, from inner margin just beyond middle, 

 somewhat curved outwards so as to nearly touch post-cellular 

 spot, anteriorly twice indented, much constricted below 

 middle ; cilia greyish-fuscous, with blackish points at extremi- 

 ties of veins. Hindwings with termen hardly waved ; dark 

 fuscous, with golden reflections, hairs on base and inner 

 margin somewhat ochreous ; cilia as in forewings. Under side 

 of forewings fulvous, markings of upper side, except stigma, 

 reproduced ; a dull whitish patch above anal angle. Hind- 

 wings with; a transverse sub-median band of about six indistinct 

 contiguous reddish-ochreous spots; cilia as above. 



Female, 26-30 mm. With coloring as in male, 8-shaped, 

 post-cellular and sub-costal spots as in male, beneath post- 

 cellular spot is a larger spot, slightly and obliquely beyond ; 

 a smaller spot below this, and indications of another .beween 

 the two last-mentioned ; cilia as in male. Under side of both 

 wings as in male, markings of forewings reproduced, except^ 

 ing the two spots below second post-cullular spot ; transverse 

 band of hindwings more pronounced than in male. 



Closely allied to Dnuhledai/i, Feld. The male is 

 best distinguished by the cellular spot. which in 

 the present species is somewhat obscured but well 

 develoiped and large in Douhledajii . Tiie female 



is much more similar, but the additional post-cellular spots- 

 and coloring of hind\\'ings are efficient characters to distinguish 

 it from that species.

Male, 30 mm. Head, thorax, palpi, antennse, and abdomen'

 beyond apex of stigma ; a second, much smaller, somewhat 

 triangular, immediately below ; a third, more suffused below 

 second, and a fourth, suffused resting on vein 1 ; an oblique 

 transverse series of 3 (lower one more or less absent) sub-costal
