yellow hairs, abdominal segments narrowly (whitish. Legs 



reddish fuscous. Ant-ennse dark fuscous, annulated with white, 

 club dull reddish beneath. Forewings elongate-triangular, 

 costa slightly arched at base, termen slightly bowed, oblique ; 

 dark golden-fuscous, with white markings; a somewhat reni- 

 form spot at end of cell; an outwardly curved series of five 

 quadrate sub-costal spots, from beneath costa at two-thirds, 

 curved round to meet another series of four similar spots which 

 terminate above inner margin at two-thirds, fifth spot of upper 

 series smallest, second spot of lower series largest ; cilia fuscous, 

 chequered with white. Hindwings with termen rounded; 

 color and cilia as in forewings ; basal and inner marginal hairs 

 golden-fuscous. Under side of forewings dark fuscous, except- 

 ing a moderately broad streak of reddish-ochreous along costa 

 and apical third of termen ; markings of upper side not wholly 

 reproduced, but in male all markings reproduced, excepting 

 lower 2 of second series of spots; spots of first series white, 

 accompanied by a parallel series of 4 triangular white spots 

 near termen, anteriorly blackish edged; the last-mentioned 

 series of spots are also visible in female ; cellular and other 

 markings dull ochreous, hardly traceable in female; cilia as 

 above. Underside of hindwings fulvous; markings 



white ; an elongate cuneiform spot, from base to beyond middle

 siderably beyond second ; a fourth, very large, quadrate, imme- 

 diately below third, with an elongate projection on upper pos- 

 terior edge ; a fifth, quadrate, lying between veins 1 and 2 ; 

 irregularly indented above and below; a curved series of 5 

 (sometimes 6) parallel spots, between veins 1 and 6, indented 

 above and below; foui'th spot twice indented and sometimes 

 separated into 2 spots; all markings more or less edged with 

 dark fuscous, excepting posterior edges of last-mentioned spots ; 

 cilia as in forewings. 



Easily distinguished by the markings of forewings and sepa- 

 ration of all markings of under side of hindwings. It may be 

 identical with Astictopterus cynone, Hew. Hewitson's figure 

 (E-'i. Butt., v., f. 14, 1874) approaches it so' closely as tO' admit 

 of little doubt.
