248 LEPIDOPTEEA INDICA. 



in the submediaii iutersiJace below the cell is an additional spot Avhich is either some- 

 what quadrate or acutely angled ; beyond is a subapical costal less distinct diffused 

 triangular patch, followed by an outer-discal slightly recurved row of seven almost 

 quadrate spots, a subniargiual curved roAV of smaller dentate spots, and then 

 a marginal line which is expanded at end of each vein. Hindnnng with the base 

 fulvescent-black and an ol)scure fulvous-bordered black streak at end of the cell; an 

 inner-discal angulated series of black spots partly bordering the dark basal area and 

 which are more or less slender and continuous anteriorly, followed by an outer-discal 

 curved row of six round spots, a submarginal row of dentate spots, and then 

 a marginal almost duplex dentated line. Underside. Foreicing pale fulvous, the 

 costal border, apex, and outer margin yellow ; the cell and discal black markings 

 narrower and less defined, the anterior spots of outer-discal and submarginal row with 

 a white central dot; the subapical costal streak, borders of apical spots and marginal 

 macular line more or less castaneous ; a black patch at base of submedian inter- 

 space. Hwdiring. Ground-colour 3-ellow, the base and blotched patches on outer- 

 discal area castaneous ; two basal small silvery-white spots with black-speckled edges, 

 and two similar smaller blacker spots in middle of the cell : a transverse inner-discal 

 broad curved band with irregular angulated slender black edges, the band composed 

 of three silvery-white portions and yellow intervening spaces, as follows — the upper 

 silvery portion placed between the costal and subcostal vein, the next across end of 

 tlie cell and divided by the discocellular veinlet, the third portion being between the 

 lower median and submedian vein, the first and third silvery portion being much con- 

 stricted ; beyond is an outer-discal curved row of six prominent small white-pupilled 

 black spots, followed by a marginal row of silvery-white quadrate spots, each of 

 which latter is separated by a castaneous-red streak and bordered inwardly with 

 a similar red or blackish dentate lunule. Body and palpi above fulvescent- 

 brown, beneath yellowish ; legs fulvous ; antennte black above, beneath and tip 

 fulvous.
