acute angle outwards, then runs sinuously inwards parallel to the 

 hind margin, a pale gi-ey triangular costal space beyond it ; 2nd 

 line, dark olive wdth a slightly paler edging externally, leaves the 

 costa at |, forms a large blunt curve nearly touching the hind 

 margin in the centre, and then runs inward to the inner margin at 

 I ; the costal space beyond it is paler grey ; the whole central 

 area between the 2nd line and the 1st line (except a narrow 

 paler space just beyond this last) is dark olivaceous, as is the 

 hind margin. Hind wings with basal half pale grey, flecked 

 with short dark-olive striae ; central line straight, dark olive, 

 followed by a pale slightly yellowish one ; rest of the wing deep 

 olive ; fringes dark olive. Head, face, and thorax dark olive ; 

 abdomen and apex of the patagia paler. Underside : fore wings 

 silvery grey, towards the inner margin yellowish, the dark olive 

 space between the outer hne and the central shade (which latter is 

 not discernible above) represents very accurately the head and neck 

 of a bird ; the hind margin, a triangular costal blotch before the 

 apex, and a large irregularly rounded blotch above the anal angle, 

 are also oHve-brown ; the latter contains a yellow triangle at the 

 anal angle, and the top of the bird's head is yellowish. Hind wings 

 dull canary-yellow, freckled with black ; a strong, thickly-scaled, 

 double, brown central line, followed by a very slender curved one. 

 Underside of abdomen and thorax dull yellow. 



Expanse of wings 34 millim.

S . Fore wings pale fawn-grey, finely dusted \vith darker atoms, 

 and tinged in places with dark fulvous ; 1st line scarcely darker, 

 angulated below the costa, and preceded by a shghtly paler space ; a 

 small black dot on the median and submedian veins ; central shade 

 diftuse, brownish, angulated below the costa, as in the case of the 

 1st line ; a small blackish cell-spot at the extremity of the angula- 

 tion ; exterior line starting from an obHque brou'u costal blotch, 

 followed by a clear white one, angulated like the others, and dusted 

 below the angulation by a row of black dots on the veins ; subter- 

 minal hne very indistinct, starting from a whitish subapical blotch 

 and followed in the centre by a small dark blotch. Hind wings 

 paler, with similar markings, the central shade being reproduced as 

 a thickish black basal line, and the 2nd line appearing denticulate, 

 followed by a darker shade, which renders the subterminal line 

 more conspicuous ; on the abdominal margin the 2nd line is broadly 

 black edged with white. Underside silvery grey with the lines 

 dark ; with the base, the disk, and the hind margin of the fore 

 wings and the hind margin only of the hind wings suffused with 

 olive-fuscous. Head, thorax, and abdomen hke the ground-colour ; 

 face and palpi brownish (? with grease).
