32 LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 



l)]ackish, the terminal line black with large sub-terminal almost square black spots 

 edged with grey in the interspaces, the two near the anal angle small and geminate. 

 Cilia white with a black basal band. Underside dark chocolate-grey, markings black, 

 broadly surrounded with white, spots all large. Forewing with a short lunular mark 

 at the end of the cell, a row of five discal spots, curved inwards at its upper end, the 

 third from the top oblique, a series of sub-terminal short lunular spots, the white 

 surroundings joined together forming a narrow white sub-terminal band, and between 

 it and the discal series is a row of almost square dark brown spots, almost filling up 

 the space between. Hiiidioing with a somewhat spear-shaped, large white spot at the 

 end of the cell, another in the middle of the disc between the discal and sub-terminal 

 series, four sub-basal spots in a line, a discal series of eight spots, bent outwards 

 above its middle, the lowest two spots geminate, a sub-terminal series of black spots 

 broadly capped with orange, edged on its inner side by black lunules, the two lowest 

 spots and the two lowest lunules geminate ; marginal line of both wings black, slightly 

 crenulate. Cilia grey with brown lines across it, opposite the vein ends. Antennae 

 black, ringed with white, with some white marks on the club ; head and body blackish 

 above with blue pubescence, white beneath. 



Female. Upperside brown, with a chocolate bronzy tinge. Forewing with the 

 costal line black, and a narrow black marginal band, containing a series of black 

 triangular spots, the discal portion of the wing generally the palest. Hindwing, darker 

 brown, black marginal line, and sub-terminal black spots as in the male, both wings with 

 a transverse series of unusually large spear-shaped orange spots, the outer ends 

 touching the black spots, darker and more prominent on the hindwing. Cilia not 

 quite as in the male, the black basal band on it being interrupted in places. Under- 

 side as in the male.

A fine series in the B. M. taken by Leslie and Evans (Journ. Bo. Nat. Hist. Soc. 

 1903, vol. xiv. p. 672), who naturally were unable to identify it; it no doubt belongs to 

 the Sarta group, but is a very distinctive local form.
