SATYBIN^. 3 



submedian slightly swollen at base; cell long, broad; discocellulars outwardly 

 oblique, botli radials from extremely close to tlie subcostal ; upper median veinlet 

 arched ; discal area clothed with pale ochreous, rather long and broad scales, inter- 

 spersed with a very few narrow black androconia of similar length, which have either 

 an extremely slender, almost linear, lengthened base with a short filiform end and 

 penicillate tip, or with a lengthened bulbous base and similar penicillate tip. 

 Eindii'ing rather long, pyriform, exterior margin very convex, very slightly scalloped, 

 and with a tendency to an angle at end of upper median vein ; cell broad ; middle 

 median veinlet emitted at a short distance before end of the cell. Palpi very hairy 

 in front, apical joint also hairy ; middle and hind femora slightly hairy beneath ; 

 antennae with an elongated slender club ; eyes hairy.

Imago. — Male. Upperside reddish-ochreous, with all the veins black; cilia 

 reddish-ochreous. Foreioing with two outwardly-oblique black bars crossing the 

 cell, the inner bar narrowest, a broader outwardly angulated band crossing obliquely 

 from middle of the costa to the lower median veinlet, this band being narrowest 

 posteriorly and angled on the veins ; a short subapical oblique macular-band and a 

 rounded spot between the lower medians, followed by an irregular angulated mar- 

 ginal band ; the median and submedian vein broadly black lined. Hindiving crossed 

 by a black discal band, which is narrow anteriorly, acutely angled above the upper 

 median, and from thence is broad to near lower median ; beyond ax-e four round 

 large black submarginal spots, two upper and two lower, followed by three slender 

 black marginal lines. Underside ochreous-yellow ; veins more slenderly lined with 

 black. Forewing with markings as on upperside, except that there is a well-formed 

 subapical ocellus with a bluish- white pupil, and the lower black spot has a bluish- 

 white pupil ; the marginal band being represented by slender lines. Hindiving with 

 a pale golden-yellow fascia extending through the cell to near the outer border ; 

 crossed by a very slender black subbasal line and an angular discal line, both indis- 

 tinctly defined in crossing the pale fascia ; beyond is a series of six ocelli, the sixth 

 being duplex, the upper third being sometimes absent, each with a black centre and 

 large bluish-white speckled pupil, a yellow ring and a black outer ring ; beyond are 

 three slender black marginal lines.
