infuscated ; veins black lined. Forewing with a slightly-defined blackish slender 

 discocellular streak ; the costal margin narrowly, the apex broadly, and the outer 

 margin decreasingly fulvescent-black, and with a small patch of similar coloured 

 scales near the posterior angle ; the outer margin being traversed by an obsolescent 

 slender fulvous lunular line ; before the apex is a. short oblique indented pale streak 

 between the two last subcostals, and also a distinct narrow streak of bright 

 fidvous scales along each siile of the last subcostal extending from its base to half its 

 length. Hindirlng with a transverse inuer-discal black slender line, which is some- 

 what discontinuous and nearly straight anteriorly, but sinuous posteriorly, and is 

 bordered outwardly at its costal end by a white patch ; beyond is a medial-discal 

 row of six rather large rounded black spots, a smaller dentate spot being also some- 

 times present in the discoidal interspace ; followed by two submarginal rather wide 

 lunular lines, and then an outer marginal border. Underside. Both wings paler 

 and duller fulvous, faint!)' suffused with lilac ; with a transverse medial-discal 

 lilacine-whitish band, whicli is much less defined and widest on the forewing but 

 prominent on the hindwing, its inner-edge Ijeiug sinuous and its outer-edge nearly 

 straight. Forewing also with a subapical oblique short slender raised blackish bar, 

 and two very slightly-defined submarginal lilacine lunular lines, the inner hne being 

 broadly diffused. Wmdwing with a discal row of six black spots, and two sub- 

 marginal lilacine-whitish lunular lines, the inner line much the bi'oadest and dusky 

 bordered inwardly. 



Female. Similar to the male. Upperside somewhat paler fulvous. Forewing 

 with the outer border also paler; the fulvous edging to lower subcostal not pi'esent. 

 Hindwing with the inner-discal line well defined, the discal row of spots somewhat
