marked off by a narrow brown-edged dusky band, followed imme- 
diately by a brown bisinuated line; an irregularly undulated line 
and ocelloid patch (enclosing two large black spots) near external 
angle, as in 7. dyras and allies: secondaries brown, darker towards 
centre of abdominal area, costal area testaceous, anal area grey; an 
ochraceous submarginal diffused litura at apex ; the veins of costal 
half of wing tawny: thorax grey ; abdomen pinkish brown, with 
clay-coloured diffused lateral patches on each segment, edges of the 
segments whitish, a dorsal ferruginous line: primaries below smoky 
brown, the base and internal area testaceous; apical half of costa 
creamy white; apical area greyish; crossed by pinkish veins, and 
transversely by a postcellular diffused subcostal spot and two parallel 
postcellular abbreviated lines, dark brown, also by two much more 
widely separated blackish lines, the inner one best-defined, angulated 
so that it joins the outer one in second median interspace ; a sinuated 
orange spot at apex ; external area below third median branch golden 
orange, clouded and irrorated with bright ferruginous: secondaries 
rosy, abdominal area grey; a submarginal anal streak of bright 
orange, bordered with brown externally ; three central parallel slightly 
irregular brown lines and two more widely separated angulated discal 
lines; a whitish diffused subapical costal spot, and a line of the same

Hakodadi ( Whitely). Type, B.M. 
The larva of this species is bright sap-green, covered with minute

A second form of the larva is pale sea-green, with the posterior areas 
of the sixth to the eleventh segments in the dorsal region pale greyish
