List of -Species belonging to the Family Pyralidae 501 



Fore wing with a small white patch at base near innermargin ; 

 subbasal line irregular, beginning below costa as a semicircular ring, 

 having an indentation on 16 and some fuscous scales on outer side ; 

 medial line double, first line narrow and bordered outwardly with black 

 scales, and beginning as two narrow inwardly oblique maculae in cell, 

 then an inwardly curved line below cell, which is continued along inner- 

 margin for a short distance ; the second line consists of three broad 

 maculae, first ill-defined and between costa and upper median, second 

 in and just below cell and sharply indented inwardly at lower median, 

 third as an elongate mark from vein 2 to 16 ; two spots beyond upper 

 and lower angle of cell ; postmedial line ill-defined, narrow and with 

 narrow dark scaling before and beyond it ; from costa to vein 7 a 

 white patch before and beyond it ; postmedial line slightly incurved 

 from costa to vein 5, then oblique to inner margin and slightly 

 dentate inwardly on the veins ; subterminal line consists of white 

 maculae defined on the outer side by a distinct black line, and 

 extends from vein 8 to 16, curved inwardly at vein 6, outwardly at 4 

 and curved inwardly between veins 4 — 3, 3 — 2, and 2 — lb ; the small 

 white maculae are between 8 — 7 and on 6, larger and triangular on 

 median fold and very small on vein 5 ; a macula of black scaling 

 mixed with some white scales on vein 4 ; a small white triangular 

 macula between veins 2 — 3 and an inwardly bidentate macula between 

 veins 2 to 16 ; a light-buff (xv) terminal patch from apex to above 

 vein 4 extending half-way on cilia ; remainder of wing well 

 covered with tawny scales ; cilia tawny with a darker basal line. 



Hind wing with white base and white costal medial area as far as 

 postmedial line and reaching to lower median ; an ill-defined subbasal 

 tawny line ; a double similar antemedial scaling in cell and a similar 

 oval ring at end of cell ; area below lower median as far as postmedial 

 line covered with tawny scales and hairs, leaving a small and larger 

 white macula between veins la and 16 ; two more whitish maculae 

 before postmedial line between 16 — lc, and 2 — 3 ; postmedial line 

 tawny, followed by an ill-defined whitish line, straight and oblique from 

 costa to medial fold, then curved outwardly from fold to vein 2, then 

 oblique to tornus ; subterminal line as in fore wing, but white line 

 lunulate between the veins, small and ill-defined from costa to vein 4, 

 larger and better defined between veins 4 — 3, 3 — 2, 2 — lc, lc — 16; 

 cilia tawny with a darker line in middle. 



Underside : Fore wing white, scaled along costa beyond medial line 

 with cinnamon-buff (xxix) scales ; lines of chestnut (ii) scales ; subbasal
