224 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



branch emitted at fully half before lower end of the cell, lower median at one-third 

 from base of the cell ; median veinlets and submedian vein recurved from their base; 

 the three median branches for a portion of their length from near their base and the 

 submedian vein along its middle conspicuously branded irith a broad lengthened raised 

 streak furnished with androconial scales, the streak being most prominent on the 

 lower median. Hindwing short, bi'oad, conical ly-ovate ; exterior margin convex and 

 well scalloped, anal angle pointed ; precostal vein curved, pointed outward ; costal 

 vein much arched from above the base, ending at apex ; cell closed, very broad 

 across its middle ; discocellulars outwardly-oblique, of nearly equal length, both 

 slightly incurved, upper starting from lower subcostal branch at some distance 

 beyond its base ; two upper median branches starting together from lower end of 

 the cell. Body moderately stout, hairy above ; palpi slightly ascending, projecting 

 forward to above vertex, first and second joints scaly laterally and clothed above and 

 in front with long fine setiform hairs, apical joint acicular, scaly ; forelegs of male 

 slender, fringed with delicate hairs ; forelegs of female scaly, slightly fringed with 

 hairs, tarsal joints minutely spined ; antennjB with an abrupt spatulate club.

Imago. — Male. Upperside yellowish-ochreous ; basal areas either slightly dusky 

 ochreous, or densely covered with darker olivescent-ochreous-brown scales. Cilia 

 pale ochreous. Foreiving with all veins black and the middle and lotver median 

 branch for a portion of their length from the base furnished with raised androconial 

 scales ; two black waved bars across middle of the cell, a wedge-shaped broader bar 

 beyond and a broad waved bar from upper end of the cell, the two latter bars being 

 obliquely-joined to the black discocellular veinlet ; a transverse inner-discal angulated 

 continuous series of large broad irregular-shaped spots, a costal oblique patch 

 beyond ; followed by an outer-discal row of spots, of which the three upper are 

 rounded, the third being much the smallest, the lower three somewhat cordate ; a 

 submarginal row of smaller and narrower partly-conjoined spots, and then two 

 marginal partly-confluent angulated lines. Eindicing with an obscure blackish bar 

 at end of the cell, a transverse inner-discal angulated broken or continuous series of 

 black spots, a discal curved row of rounded spots, a submarginal row of duplex 

 lunular spots, and two marginal angulated lines. Underside. Foreuing pale
