Belongs to the section with the d sex-tuft covering nearly two-thirds of the inter- 

 spaces between the submedian and second median branches of the fore-wing. 



The female — hitherto unrecorded — is, except for the absence of the tuft, generally 

 like the male, but the ground-colour is a little paler, and, as is usual in the genus, the 

 transverse band on the upperside of the fore-wing is nearly twice the width of that in 

 the male.

Expanse : 70 mm. at vein 8. 



<S . — Upperside. Fore-wing deep sepia-brown varying to tawny-olive, the colour 

 being lightened on the basal half by dense mouse-coloured hairs ; the external margin 

 with a sprinkling of grey scales ; the only marking consists of a curved ill-defined sub- 

 apical band of dull ochraceous-rufous scaling, extending from the costa (where it is 

 most pronounced) to the middle of the external margin. Hind-wing similar in 

 colouring to the fore-wing, but without ochraceous markings, and with a large elliptical 

 sex-patch of cream-white scales lying near the costa and normally hidden by the fore- 

 wing ; this patch is 11 mm. long, being three-quarters of the length of the cell. 



Underside. The markings closely similar to those of G. chelys Fab. (Plate V. fig. 8), 

 but the brown colouring is varied with a pinker hue than is usual in the genus. 

 Fore-wing as in G. chelys, but the sex-patch of cream-white scales is longer and does 

 not extend below vein 1. Hind-wing differs from that of G. chelys in that the curved 

 median line is more sinuous than zigzag and is less varied with pale blotches. 



This species is further readily distinguishable from its closest ally, G. chelys, by the 

 following structural characters : — 



Fore-wing more nearly approximating an equilateral triangle in shape, the costa 

 being proportionately shorter and the external margin proportionately longer ; the 

 length of the cell is therefore relatively greater as compared with the wing-length ; 

 the angulation of the wing at vein 8 is more obtuse and the projection at 6 more 

 acuminate, while that at 3 is hardly noticeable. Vein 1 is strongly curved and
