Dnj- season form (Plate 483, fig. 1, $, la, ? ). 



Imago. — Male. Upperside yellowish-ochreous. Foreiving with the base and 

 costa tinged with browni.sh-ochreous ; the outer veins dark brown ; au oblique 

 variable cluster of dark ocbreous-brown or almost black snaall spots across outer- 

 third of the cell, and a broad irregularly-angulated decreasing bar at end of the cell; 

 a transverse inuer-discal more or less incomplete — or sometimes a complete — row of 

 small hastate vein-spots, each being coalescent, where present, with a parallel outer- 

 discal sinuous band, the upper portion of the latter from the middle median upward 

 being interspaced with increasingly-widening triangular spots of the yellowish-ochreous 

 ground-colour ; the apex and outer margin of the wing being also dark ochreous- 

 brown, the latter posteriorly with intervening yellowish-ochreous lunular spots 

 between it and the discal band. HiudicLug with the outer area, from the costa 

 across apical fourth of the cell to the abdominal angle, dark ochreous-black, 

 traversed by a submarginal row of five large broad lunate spots of the yellowish- 

 ochreous ground-colour, preceded by an inner submarginal lower row of either three 

 or four similar but deeper-coloured conical spots ; the tail brownish-ochreous ; cilia 

 between the veins more or less yellowish-ochreous and inwardly-edged by a slender 

 brighter ochreous lunule. Underside. Basal and discal areas bright yellowish- 

 ochi'eous, the outer ai'eas pale brownish-ochreous. Forewing with ochreous-brown 

 cell-spots, patch at its end, transverse inner-discal hastate marks and outer-discal 

 duplex slender sinuous lines, disposed as on upperside ; there is also a subbasal 

 narrow-angled cell-spot, which is sinuously continued below the cell to the sub- 

 median vein. Hindioing with an ochreous-brown apical cell-spot, two upper inner- 

 discal lunules and three lower-discal lunules, each being traversed by silver^'-white 

 scales ; followed by a sinuous slender discal and then a submarginal line ; the cilial 

 slender lunules and the tail being reddish-ochreous ; there is also a subbasal 

 ochreous-brown slender sinuous line. Body above brownish-ochreous, beneath
