Three new Catocalinae 455 



ochraceous ; the dark lines and shading heavier ; the antemedial line 

 very straight (though oblique) to behind SM 2 , bent inward at hind 

 margin ; the distal edge of the inverted comma head more angled than 

 in appollina. Hind wing slightly more angled at M 1 than in appollina 

 or pretiosissima ; the dark shades stronger ; medial and postmedial 

 lines, especially, much thickened. 



Underside of both wings more or less uniform ochraceous-buff 

 (see Bidgway, pi. xv) with the exception of some greyish shades on 

 proximal third and inner margin of fore wing, caused by the dark lines 

 showing through from above. Both wings with dark discal spot and a 

 double row of spots towards termen, those of the proximal row on hind 

 wing being conjoined to form a waved line. On the fore wing three 

 large spots represent the head of the inverted comma mark and three 

 smaller ones the postmedial line. On the hind wing there are also 

 three dark spots on the faint grey postmedial line.
