 spots and a spot "within end of the cell; posterior margin broadly cinereous; sexual 

 mark dusky grey. Both wings with a submarginal and marginal row of spots as on 

 upperside. Body dark brown ; head, palpi, thorax above and beneath black, spotted 

 •with white; legs black, fore femora and tibiae white beneath ; abdomen beneath with 

 grey bands. Female marked as in the male above, the submarginal spots on the 

 forewing of the same size and not extending to the apex ; on the underside the 

 forewing has a very short whitish streak between the lower median and submediau 

 vein, the posterior border being broadly whitish cinereous. 



Expanse, c? ? 3 J to 3f inches. 



Habitat. — Ceylon. 



Distinguishable from P. Kollari in the less prominence and smaller size of both 

 rows of marginal spots on the forewing, those of the submarginal row not extending 

 to the apex, and those on the hindwing being somewhat smaller. 



This species has a similarity of colour and pattern of the markings to the 

 Ceylonese Grastia Asela and also to Narmada montana. 



Distribution. — Occurs only in Ceylon. It has been taken at Galle and Kandy 

 by Capt. Wade. According to Mr. F. M. Mackwood "it is an up-country butter- 



fly-"

Imago. — Male. Wings large, broad. Forewing elongated, somewhat quadrate, 

 apex slightly acuminate, exterior margin oblique, waved, posterior margin convex. 

 Sexual mark large, elongated, appearing on the upperside as if reticulated, but 

 clothed with widely-separated somewhat narrow bidentate and tridentate-tipt scales, 

 and on the underside clothed with narrow thickly-disposed pointed scales, inter- 

 spersed with a few narrow scales and a few projecting longer very slender 

 clavifbrm scales. Hindwing triangular, costa long, convex, apex and exterior 

 margin convex, waved, with a moderate-sized iiale-ochreous tipper discoidal patch 

 clothed with dense but loosely-disposed somewhat narrow round-tipt scales. 



Isamia differs from typical Salpinx in the male having the forewing prolonged 

 at the apex, the exterior margin being more oblique and waved, the posterior margin
