102 LEPIDOPTEEA INBICA. 



Foreiuing with a spot in the middle of the cell, a lunule at the end, a spot outside, near the 

 Imse of the second median interspace, another below the cell end, a spot in the middle 

 of the first median interspace, three sub-apical spots followed sometimes by a minute 

 dot, a spot on the sulj-median vein (as in galba), an extra dot outside, above it, below 

 the first median interspace spot, and a sub-marginal series of small spots which become 

 obsolete upwards and landwards. Hindwing with a spot at the end of the cell, another 

 (sometimes two) immediately below it, and a sub-marginal series as on the forewing. 

 Cilia of l)oth wings checkered black and white. Underside pale brownish-grey.

Imago. — Male. Upperside brownish-black, spotted with white ; the entire surface 

 of both wings sparsely covered with minute ochreous-grey scaling. Forewing with a 

 short streak before the middle of the cell, a twin .spot in the middle and a lunule at 

 the end, a spot before the middle of the second median interspace ; a larger .spot l)efore 

 the middle of the first median interspace, with a dot immediately below it, an oval spot 

 on the middle of the sub-median vein, a complete series of sub-marginal dots, and three 

 large conjugated sub-apical spots. Hindwing with a sub-basal spot in the cell, a discal 

 band composed of a large round spot at the end of the cell, with three smaller spots 

 close together, beneath it, a sub-marginal row of dots, becoming obsolete upwards 

 and hindwards. Cilia of lioth wings checkered black and white. Underside grey.
