426 COL. C. SWINHOE ON NEW [Nov. 5, 
male is so thickly covered as to almost hide the white ground-colour, 
and to leave no distinguishing bands above or below; the female 
has a subbasal, medial, and a submarginal band across both wings, 
formed of patches and speckles closer together than in the other 
parts of the wings, the submarginal band being prominently den- 
tated in the Mhow example, especially towards the apex of the fore 
wings; head and hinder part of thorax and tip of the abdomen 
ochreous; antenne of the male greyish ochreous, of the female 
brown, with ochreous-grey bands. 
Underside much paler, with a brown spot at the end of each cell 
in both sexes, the submargival band prominent in the female; front 
of head brown, face and pectus ochreous: body and legs of male 
greyish ochreous, unmarked ; of the female greyish ochreous, with 
brown marks on abdomen, in one specimen forming regular seg- 
mental bands, and in all the specimens with brown bands on the 
legs and with brown tarsi. 
Expanse of wings, ¢ 2-24, 2 3-4; inches. 
Hab. Mhow, June 1882, one pair; Poona, September 1833, one 
3; North Kanara, one ¢, June 1886, one 9, August 1886, received 
from Mr. Wise. 
From B. multipunctaria, Walker, this species differs in its extremely 
dark colour, the wings being densely mottled, especially those of the 
male, and in the ill-defined transverse dentated bands, traceable here 
and there only by irregular-shaped ochraceous patches ; these bands 
in the female are well defined and are more or less densely bordered 
by black scales.

line, commencing at the middle of the hinder margin, recurved and 
ending on the costa, about one third from the apex, marked with 
black on the angles, and thickening downwards on the lower part, 
above which and between the two lines are some deep black marks, 
forming a sort of black medial interrupted band ; a zigzag submar- 
ginal whitish line, marked on the inner side with black ; marginal
