c? . Primaries above dark brown, with bronzy brown reflections ; 

 ordinary lines black, commencing upon the costa in oblique snow- 

 white dashes ; the denticulated discal line very prominent, each 

 denticle terminated externally iu a white point ; orbicular spot very 

 small, with an iris of white scales, very indistinct ; reniform spot 

 large, snow-white, dotted with black and with a greyish central 

 streak ; submarginal line very irregular, chiefly indicated by a 

 slender white external edge, external border of wing beyond this line 

 pale ; a marginal series of depressed conical black spots ; fringe sordid 

 white spotted with brown ; secondaries pale bronzy brown, with a 

 greyish tint towards outer margin ; fringe cream-coloured, tipped 

 with silvery whitish and traversed by a grey line ; body corresponding 

 in general colour with the wings. Under surface pale bronzy brown, 

 almost golden in some lights ; primaries with a greyish subtint, and 

 the secondaries, especially towards abdominal border, with a whitish 

 subtint ; a dusky stripe beyond the cells, bisinuated in the primaries, 

 arched and macular in the secondaries ; a marginal series of black 

 dots ; fringe cream-coloured, tipped with grey ; pectus silvery grey- 

 ish ; antennae below reddish. Expanse of wings 30 mm. 



The locality is lost ; I believe, however, that it occurs at Dharm- 

 sala.
