Male. — Ujpiyerside. Bright tawny brown, darker towards the 

 base, the anal angle, and the outer margin of posterior wings. 

 Anterior wings with the cell crossed by two zigzag lines. On the 

 disk from the second median nervule to the inner margin is a 

 vertical patch of olivaceous-brown scales, the internal edge of which 

 is Well defined ; between the veins is a submarginal row of small 

 dark brown spots, the lowest being doubly sagittate ; the margin is 

 rather broadly dusted with brown scales, forming indistinct lunules 

 between the veins. Posterior wings crossed rather beyond the 

 middle, from the costal margin to near the anal angle, by a band of 

 dark olivaceous-brow u scales, the inner edge of which is sharply 

 defined, but not so externally; a submarginal row of contiguous 

 hastate markings edged externally with bright tawny brown. The 

 basal and anal area, outer margin and abdominal fold are irrorated 

 with dusky brown scales. 



Underside. Resembles egesta. Cram., except that the dark line 

 which crosses the middle of both wings is very sharply defined, and 

 the curved lines, which in egesta are inside this line, in honnyi 

 cross and recross it several times on the anterior wings, and on the 

 upper part of posterior wings they are closer and shorter than in 

 egesta. 



Female. Olive-brown, darker in the middle of anterior wings, 

 and at the base and inner two thirds of posterior wings. On the 

 anterior wings beyond the middle are five sharply triangular 

 browuish-white spots, the uppermost the largest, the third the 

 smallest ; situate in a straight line beneath each other between the 

 veins from the subcostal nervules to the lowest median nervule 

 there is a submarginal row of dark brown hastate markings, inside 

 which is another row of brown hastate mai'kings ; the cell is crossed 

 by two zigzag and two rather sinuate lines, and there is a sinuate 

 line at the end of the cell. On posterior wings is a submarginal 

 tow of contiguous hastate markings, the two uppermost very broad 

 in the middle. On the underside both wings are crossed bej-ond the 

 middle by a dark line, inside and based on which are placed the 

 triangular brownish-white markings which are conspicuous on the
