extremity ; a white streak in discal fold from before middle to 

 end of cell with black streak below it; slight black streaks beyond 

 the cell above and below vein 5, some slight white striaj from 

 terminal half of costa ; dentate white marks from beyond middle 

 to termen on each side of veins 6, 4, 3 and a white streak below 

 vein 3 to below angle of cell, with diffused black marks above and 

 between them, slightly defined by black on inner side below vein 5 

 and the streak with slight black streak on its lower edge, the ex- 

 tremities of veins 7 and 4 also defined by slight dentate white marks ; 

 a black terminal line interrupted by Avhite streaks intersecting the 

 cilia. Hind wing ochreous white, the terminal half tinged w"ith

Head and thorax brown ; abdomen grey suffused with brown. 

 Fore wing grey-brown ; antemedial line double, brown, rather 

 diffused, oblique from costa to subraedian fold where it is angled 

 outwards, then inwardly oblique ; orbicular and reniform with 

 brown centres and grey annuli defined by brown, the former round, 

 the latter constricted at middle ; a brown line from lower angle of 

 cell to inner margin ; postmedial line doiible, bent outwards and 

 obsolescent below costa, excurved to vein 4, then incurved ; post- 

 medial area dark brown except towards costa ; subterminal line 

 only defined by the contrast between the postmedial and terminal 

 areas, excurved below vein 7 and at middle, then incurved ; a
