upperside of the secondaries. The wings are marked with 

 moderately large black spots, one at the end of the cell in the 

 primaries followed by a median and submarginal band of 

 spots. Upon the secondaries the spots are arranged as a basal, 

 median, and submarginal transverse series. In addition, 

 upon the primaries there is a very minute translucent spot 

 near the end of the cell and a subapical series of three similar 

 spots, two just below the costa and on a line at right angles 

 to it and the third a little below and beyond the second spot.

(J. Both wings and body deep black above, with the 

 hairy patch upon the secondaries sooty and the shining area 

 upon the costa of the secondaries testaceous. Near the apex 

 of the primaries just below the costa are four minute trans- 

 lucent spots forming a quadilateral, and below these, just 

 above the third median nervule, a similar spot. Upon the 

 underside the primaries are brown outwardly, the basal area 

 is testaceous, with a broad patch of sooty scales at the lower 

 basal edge of the cell, which they partly invade. The costa 

 at the base is olivaceous. The posterior wing below is 

 broadly yellowish olivaceous ; the fringes are brown on the 

 outer margin, there are two short and narrow parallel brown 

 lines at the end of the cell, and a curved fascia of five brown 

 spots running parallel to the margin from above the middle 

 of the cell to above the third median nervule. The second 

 spot from the direction of the base in this series is the largest. 

 Lower side of body olivaceous.

Near Tagiades, Hiibu. Body slender ; anteunte half as long as costa 

 of anterior wing, slender, swollen and slightly recurved at tip. Palpi 

 short, very hairy, and the last article short and slender and nearly hidden 

 in the hairy vestiture of the second article. Fore wing subtriangular, 

 with the costa and the outer margin very convex and the inner margin 

 straight. Posterior wing subpyriform, the costa produced or lobed near 

 the base ; the outer margin convex and the inner margin gently rounding
