in cell 8 oblong. Male : fore wing above with a vein-blic ridge 

 arising out of the upperside of vein 1 a in its apical fourth, and 

 running parallel to it nearly to the base, and a ridge on each side 

 of the basal half of vein 2 ; fore wing below with an oblong patch 

 of yellow hairs near the dorsum thyrsi's, Fab. 



3 (2). Fore wing above : pale spot in cell 6 close to that in cell 7, that in 



cell 8 punctiform. Hind wing below brown, with a pink shade 

 near the base, and a sub-basal and median series of suffused 



oblong greenish-brown spots sybirita. Hew.
