little before the upper end of the cell, discocellulars faint, vein 5 not trace- 

 able ; vein 3 emitted a little before the lower end of the cell, 2 from beyond the 

 middle, the lower margin of the cell bent downwards at the point where this vein 

 arises ; wiug evenly rounded, somewhat small in comparison with the forewing ; costa 

 strongly arched at its base. Antennae rather long, more than half the length of costa 

 of forewing, with a long slender club which has a short apical crook and pointed tip ; 

 palpi with the first two joints clothed with thick hairs, third joint minute, obtusely 

 conical ; hind tibiae naked, with two pairs of spurs. 



Male with a tuft of hair afhxed at the base of the inner margin on the underside 

 of the forewing and pointing upwards, and a large sub-oval patch of androconia 

 near the base of the median vein, inside the cell, and nearly filling that 

 portion of it.

Imago. — Male. Upperside dark olive-brown. Forewing with a white twin spot 

 across the end of the cell, three spots (the upper one very minute and sometimes 

 absent) in an outwarly oblique line from near the costa one-sixth from the apex, 

 two larger spots in the disc, near the bases of the two median interspaces, and an 

 obscure spot before the middle of the interno-median interspace, all in an inwardly 

 oblique line ; indications of a thin series of ob.scure sub-mai'ginal marks from near the 

 apex to the middle of the margin. Hindwing with the white transverse band of the 

 underside represented by a pale ochreous transverse shade. Cilia of both wings 

 whitish with quadrate brown spots opposite the ends of the veins. Underside with the 

 oTound colour slightly paler. Forewing with the spots as on the upperside, but whiter 

 and more distinct, the sub-marginal series well pronounced, a white smear above the 

 hinder margin. Hindwing with a short sub-basal transverse white streak, a broad 

 white band with irregular edges across the wing before the middle, a sub-marginal 

 white thin band or line from the outer end of the white band which thickens above the
