124 LEPinOPTEBA INDICA. 



ochreous-tinted ; markings slightly darker than the ground colour. Forewing with a 

 slightly outwardly curved, rather thick, lunular discal line from vein 7 to vein 2, and 

 a very indistinct sub-marginal fascia ; hinder margin of the wing broadly pale ; a very 

 indistinct double line closing the cell. Hindioing with similar discocellular and discal 

 markings, the latter slightly outwardly curved from the costa to vein 2, the last lunule 

 outwardly edged with white, the first well inwards, the second only a little inwards, 

 the others in an even curve, the series curving inwards to the abdominal margin in a 

 V-shape and a short line of metallic blue scales, a metallic line of blue scaling 

 continuing from the V-mark outwards for a short distance to near the outer margin, 

 and a short line of similar scaling near the abdominal margin between the end of the 

 discal series and the anal lobe ; a dark terminal line with an inner white thread from 

 the anal angle which becomes obsolete before reaching the apex of the wing. 

 Antennae black, ringed with white, club with a dull red tip ; frons dark grey ; head 

 and body above and below concolorous with the wings. 



Female very similar to the male above and below ; the wings are rather broader, 

 the anal lobe on the underside is darker ferruginous than the rest of the wing, and 

 there is a spot in the first interspace of the same colour, and a pale bluish -grey space 

 between them, but all these are more or less only indicated in some male examples. 



Expanse of wings, J $ 1t% to 1-^ inches.
