cal margin runs a straight but very oblique dusky striga, extending 
from rather beyond the middle of the hinder margin nearly to the 
apex of the wing, where it is dilated into a small black patch. The 
hind wings have a more rosy tint, with a transverse, very ill-defined, 
dusky striga a little in front of the ocellus, and there is a slender un- 
dulated dusky striga half way between the ocellus and the hinder 
margin. 
On the under side the wings are rather more ashy in their general 
colour, and the dusky stripe between the base and the ocellus in all the 
wings is better defined; across all the wings there is a central cloud 
of tawny running through the ocelli, which are smaller on this side 
than above, and beyond these marks is a very slight and slender row 
of dusky scallops; the subapical margin of the fore wings is more 
tawny, especially towards the hinder angle. The antennz are ful- 
yous and broadly feathered, consisting of about 30 joints, each emit- 
ting two branches on either side.

This beautiful species is one of the smallest of its tribe, and is well 
distinguished by its peculiar colour and by the form of the lunate 
vitreous patch, of nearly equal size on all the wings. The wings are 
sulphur-yellow-coloured above, the disk covered with minute black 
scales, which give it a greenish tinge ; fore wings with the extremity 
slightly falcate in the male, more regular shaped in the female, 
brownish buff, with a small subapical black oval dot, edged behind 
with an angulated white line. All the wings marked rather beyond 
the middle with a lunate vitreous spot, of equal size in all the wings, 
narrowly edged with black and with a slender curved vein (uniting 
the lower branch of the subcostal with the upper branch of the me- 
dian veins) running through the centre of it; the fore wings moreover 
with a slightly waved dusky fascia before the middle and a slender 
waved subapical dark striga (much more strongly marked in the fe- 
male than in the male), adjoining which, on the outside, is a narrow 
wave, paler than the ground colour of the wing, the terminal por- 
tion of the wing being duller coloured than the disc, and irrorated in 
both sexes towards the hinder angle with brown scales. Hind wings 
entire along the outer margin, with a nearly straight dusky striga 
running across the centre a short distance preceding the vitreous lu- 
nule, with a slender waved lilacy-brown striga half way between the 
lunule and the outer margin, and with a series of submarginal brown 
curved streaks, followed by patches of flesh-coloured scales. On 
the underside the male has the wings chestnut-grey, the disc more 
strongly suffused with red, with the striga and waved lines of the
