List of Species belonging to the Family Pyralidae 505 



fuscous-black scaling at end of cell and area between antemedial and 

 subterminal lines sprinkled with fuscous-black ; subterminal line orange- 

 yellow (iii), suffused with brick-red and bordered on both sides by 

 narrow fuscous-black lines, erect, evenly curved outwardly, slightly 

 incurved at vein 5 and on plical fold and ending near tornus ; terminal 

 line represented by a series of black lunules between the veins and sub- 

 terminal area thinly irrorated with fuscous-black scales ; cilia of brick 

 red and fuscous scales mixed, with a fuscous-black line at one third. 

 Hind wing apricot-yellow at basal half, along costa and inner margin ; 

 this part is denned outwardly from before apex obliquely towards 

 discocellulars, then erect to lc above outer margin, then sharply angled 

 to tornus ; a faint orange-vinaceous scaling before this, defining line 

 below lower median and near tornus, indicating the antemedial line ; area 

 beyond the yellow orange-vinaceous to outer margin : a series of black 

 terminal lunules between the veins which become a black terminal line 

 from before vein 2 to tornus ; cilia apricot-yellow mixed with orange- 

 vinaceous from apex to vein 2, and with a dark line at one third, brick- 

 red from apex to vein 3, then fuscous-black to tornus. 



Underside : Both wings buff-yellow (iv). Fore wing densely irrorated 

 with corinthian-red (xxvii), broadly along costal half till below lower 

 median and vein 2, and beyond subterminal line from apex to tornus ; 

 costa narrowly edged with fuscous-black interrupted by small orange- 

 buff spots as on upperside ; some triangular scaling before discocellu- 

 lars ; subterminal line as on upperside, but more irregular and more 

 distinct, especially the inner line ; black terminal spots and cilia as on 

 upperside. Hind wing with the costal area as far as medial fold and 

 area beyond medial line to near tornus densely irrorated with corinthian- 

 red ; indications of an antemedial line from costa to lc ; medial line as 

 on upperside, but more irregular, more roundly curved at vein 2 ; 

 dentated inwardly at vein 3, and above veins 5 and 6, outwardly at 

 below vein 4, median fold and above vein 6 ; a buff-yellow line beyond 

 it ; terminal black spots between the veins narrow and becoming very 

 elongate towards tornus ; cilia as on upperside, but less dark. 



? like £ , but fore wing and hind wing more of a testaceous (xxviii) 

 colour, and thinly irrorated with fuscous-black scales ; antemedial yellow 

 of fore wing narrower, basal area of hind wing suffused with testaceous 

 as far as antemedial line and more roundly defined near tornus than in 

 $ on upper side. The ground colour of the wings of the ? ? varies 

 considerably, ranging from avellaneous (xl) to brick-red as in <£ . 

 Underside as in $ , but lines darker and more defined ; medial line of 

 hind wing more deeply incurved at medial fold.
