lower the longer, vein 3 emitted about one-sixth before the lower end of cell, 2 one- 

 third from the base. Costa evenly C(jnvex, apex sub-acute, angular, outer margin very 

 dentate, the largest dentation at the end of vein 3, the next largest at the end of 

 vein 2, their eud.s rounded, the hinder margin nearly straight, longer than the outer 

 margin. Hindu-iiuj, vein 7 emitted quite close to upper end of the cell, dis- 

 cocellulars faint, the lower much the longer, vein 3 from close before the lower end of 

 cell, 2 from one-sixth before the end, their bases closer together than usual, wins 

 somewhat longer than broad, costa and outer margin in one continuous round, the 

 latter more or less scolloped. Antennai slender, more than two -thirds the length of 

 the costa of forewing, club rather long, moderate, gradually formed, tapering to a fine 

 point in a short crook ; palpi porrect, third joint blunt, more or less concealed liy the 

 hairs of the second ; hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs, the hind femora and tibife

Im.\go. — Male. Upperside black. Forewing sparsely covered with minute blue- 

 grey scales, and with similar scaling along the veins ; three sub-apical spots in a curve 

 from near the costa, all close together, decreasing in size hindwards, a streak across 

 the cell near its end, sharply and pointedly angled outwardly, with a .spot below its 

 lower end, near the base of the first median interspace, divided from it by the vein, 

 a thin line acrcss the same interspace farther outwards, sometimes a dot between them, 

 and two .spots between the upper end of the discoidal streak and the costa ; all semi- 

 hyaline and ochreous-white. llindicing with the lower third of the wing ochreous- white 

 with two large black marginal spots in interspaces 2 and 3, all the veins on the black 

 portion of the wing white, and the lower part of that portion with long recumbent white 

 hairs, the black colour limited hindwards by a discal series of elongated blacker .spots, 

 half obliterated by the white hairs. Cilia of both wings concolorous with the wings. 

 Underside. Fomcing blackish, the outer and lower portions of the wing smeared with 

 ])luish-white, being covered with minute scales of that colour, the spots as on tlie 

 upperside but more ochreous. HimJwivg white, the upper third of the wing blackish, 

 smeared with bluish-white, containing a S(|uare white spot below the middle of tlie 

 costa, a black .spot on each side of it, another below it, a .spot near the base and 

 another towards the apex ; the two black marginal spots on the white area as on
