300 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



arched, apex rounded, exterior margin slightly scalloped. Upperside with a slightly 

 perceptible broad transverse discal glandular fascia, clothed with long narrow dark 

 scales with bidentate or tridentate tips, interspersed with very numerous slender long 

 androconia with long bulbous base and fine hair-like tasselled tip, and also with a 

 few fine long hairs ; costal vein slightly swollen at the base ; cell extending to more 

 than half the wing ; discocellulars outwardly oblique and slightly excurved, upper 

 radial near the subcostal, lower radial from slight angle above the middle. Hindtving 

 short, broad ; exterior margin obliquely-convex, scalloped and with an obtuse broad 

 angle at end of middle median veinlet, anal angle rounded ; cell extending fully half the 

 wing ; discocellulars very oblique and angular in the middle, radial from the angle ; 

 middle median emitted at end of the cell. Body rather robust, thorax finely hairy ; 

 palpi rather short and stout, thickly hairy in front, apical joint long, cylindrical ; 

 legs stout, femora finely hairy beneath ; antennge rather stout, with a well-formed 

 thickened club ; eyes hairy.

Imago. — Male. Upperside dusky olivescent ochreous-brown, darkest exteriorly ; 

 cilia alternated with ochreo us- white. Forewing crossed by a slightly-perceptible broad 

 dusky discal glandular fascia, clothed with long narrow scales with bidentate or tri- 

 dentate tips, and interspersed with very numerous '&\endiev androconia with long bulbous 

 base and fine hair-like tasselled tip, of similar length, and also with a few fine long hairs ; 

 two prominent ochreous-white sinuous streaks within the cell, an elongated streak 

 below the cell, and two outer discal transverse irregular series of spots, the posterior 

 streak being more or less ochreous at its base. Hindwing with two outer curved 

 series of dark ochreous-yellow conical spots, those between the median veinlets and 

 also of the radial having an intervening blackish spot, the lowest spot always being 

 round and encircled by a distinct ochreous ring, the other two being generally quad- 

 rate ; the cell and abdominal border clouded with ochreous. Underside dark-brown. 

 Forewing with the cell streaks, the posterior streak, and the outer sei'ies of spots, as 

 on the upperside, but more irregularly defined and whiter ; between the radials and 

 also between the two upper medians is a black ocellate spot, each with an ochreous 

 ring and then a more or less defined black ring, the upper spot being the smallest 

 and more prominent ; a third similar-ringed spot is also present between the lower 

 radial and upper median, but is almost obliterated by the ordinary white spot ; along
