34 LUPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



bands crossing middle of the cell, the outer one extending slightly up the base of 

 second median branch, and the inner one sometimes less so up the first median; two 

 paitlj-connected bands across apex of the cell; beyond is a discal transverse band 

 which is wavy anteriorly and interiorly broken above the fourth median ; followed by 

 a submarginal nai-rower undulated band which is posteriorly coalesced to the discal 

 band, and then by a broader marginal baud ; the outer veinletsfrom the third median 

 upward are lined and edged with black from the cell outward, and the two lower 

 medians also similarly black lined from the discal band. Cilia black, slightly edged 

 with white. Hiudwiiig with a black slender basal band extending obscurely along 

 each side of the submedian vein to above abdominal angle ; a parallel subbasal band 

 obliquely crossing the cell and along the lower median veinlet, its lower end joining 

 the former; a less defined and very slender waved medial band, extending from 

 below the costa, across the cell, and thence obsolescently to the middle median 

 veinlet, followed by a discal, a submarginal, and then a marginal slender interrupted 

 band, each extending from the subcostal to the radial veinlet, the discal band from 

 the latter inwardly joining the ends of the subbasal and basal bands ; the broad anal 

 interspace, from the radial, including the tail, being black — thus forming a large 

 anal patch, which latter is inwardly speckled with gre^^ scales, and outwardly has 

 three marginal blue-scaled lunules, as well as two bright yellow spots from the 

 abdominal angle, below which is a triangular white spot indented by an upwardly- 

 oblique black point, a similar white spot being present above the upper median angle. 

 Cilia, inclusive of that of the tail, and also its tip, white. Underside. Foremmj 

 similar to the upperside, except that the outer transverse bands are narrower and 

 less prominent. Eindidng with the ground-colour pale olivescent-yellow, the black 

 markings, similar to the upperside, but more distinctl}^ defined, the veins outwai'dly 

 from the cell being also black-lined, the medial band looped at its costal end and 

 also at apex of the cell, the three outer slender interrupted bands each extending 

 upward to the costal vein, the two yellow spots from abdominal angle paler, and the 

 black anal patch with three irregular-shaped spots of the ground-colour above the 

 blue-scaled lunules. Bodtj above, from frontal tuft, covered laterally with long fine 

 silky grey hairs, and dorsally with blackish hairs; palpi white; sides of thorax 

 beneath black ; thorax and abdomen beneath covered with long grey hairs, the latter 

 with a lateral black streak ; legs grey, femora above blackish ; antenna black. 



Female. Upper and underside similar to the male.

DiSTKiBUTiON. — The Nepal type specimen, from Gen. Hardwicke's collection, is in 

 the British Museum, also both sexes from Sikkim, taken in April by Mr. G. C. Dudgeon;
