white, tarsi and tibiæ banded with blackish. Forewings rather elongate- 
triangular, costa slightly arched, apex rounded, hindmargin obliquely 
rounded ; white, densely irrorated with black, sometimes partially suffused 
with light fuscous ; several small black spots towards base ; first line well- 
defined, somewhat curved, sharply indented, posteriorly strongly black- 
margined ; orbieular moderate, circular, black, whitish-centred, almost 
touching first line; claviform quadrate, black, detached ; reniform indis- 
tinct, irregularly 8-shaped, lower half elongate, whitish, partially black- 
margined, posteriorly strongly, touching a small blackish spot on costa 
beyond middle; second line well-defined, anteriorly black-margined ; 
terminal space wholly dark, except rather broad distinct subterminal line, 
entire or shortly interrupted, not touching second line : cilia white, sharply 
barred with dark grey, bars partially obsolete on terminal half. Hindwings 
14, whitish-grey, becoming fuscous-grey posteriorly, postmedian line faintly 
darker; cilia white, with a well-defined grey line. 
This and the following species are characterized by the intensity of the ir-
