MESSES. H. J. ELWES AND JAMES EDWARDS : 



and subterminal pale macular bands not darker than the 



remainder piceus, Leech. 



8 (3). Fore wing below with only one row of pale spots — the postmedian 



one — and that but feebly developed. Hind wing below grey- 

 brown, closely sprinkled with yellow scales, with a feeble 

 irregular postmedian band of pale spots musca, Mab. 



9 (2) . Sex-mark on the fore wing above in the male a small longitudinal 



fold of pale scales on vein 1 a a little beyond the middle, or none. 



10 ^11). Hind wing below with the veins pale. Tegumen (viewed from 



above) slightly angularly widened on each side just below its 

 rounded apex ; lower lobe of clasp broadly rounded, its margin 

 serrate and continuous with the outline of the upper lobe . . inachus, Men. 



11 (10). Hind wing below with the veins concolorous. 



12 (19). Fore wing broader and more triangular, the termen straighter and 



longer in proportion to the dorsum. 



13 (16). Fore wing below : postmedian and subterminal pale macular bands 



both well developed, usually complete from the dorsum to the 

 costa. Tegumen (seen from above) with a small notch at each 

 distal angle, its apex truncate or but slightly rounded between 

 the notches. 



14 (15). Hind wing below grey-brown; the postmedian series of pale spots 



not stronger and more evident than the subterminal series . 



15 (14). Hind wing below greenish ochreous ; the postmedian series of pale 



spots stronger and more evident than the subterminal series 



16 (13). Fore wing below : pale macular bands imperfect or absent, not in 



any case reaching the dorsum. 



17 (18). Fore wing below with a spot of pale scales in the cell near its 



upper distal angle. Tegumen (seen from above) with a small 

 rounded projection on each side near the apex, beyond which it 

 is produced in a bluntly-rounded triangle 



18 (17). No such pale spot on the fore wing below. Tegumen as in 



discreta and jhora javanicus, n. sp 



19 (12). Fore wing narrower and more oblong; termen more btrongly 



curved, almost evenly curved from the dorsum to the costa. 



20 (21) . Fore;vving below with the pale postmedian macular band continuous 



from^cell 2 to cell 7 or 8, and running almost parallel with the 

 termem; no pale spot in the cell near its upper distal angle. 

 Tegumen parallel-sided in its apical half, evenly rounded at the 

 apex ; lower lobe of clasp not produced, broadly rounded, 

 serrate and continuous with the outline of the upper lobe . 



21 (20). Fore wing below with the pale spots in two outwardly oblique 



series — one series in cells 5, 6, and 7 or 8, or 6, 7 ' , and 8, the 

 other series in cells 2 and 3 ; no pale spot in cell 4; a pale 

 spot in the cell near its upper distal aDgle. Tegumen a little 

 constricted on each side just below the apex, which is bluntly 



discreta, Plotz. 

 jhora, de Nicev. 



dubius, n. sp. 



indistincta, Moore.
