LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 133 



Female. Deep black, slender. Head whitish about the eyes 

 in front. Palpi slightly ascending, whitish beneath, shorter than 

 the breadth of the head ; third joint elongate-conical, less than half 

 the length of the second. Antennae stout, minutely setulose. Tho- 

 rax and abdomen with a luleous stripe on each side. Abdomen 

 and legs whitish beneath. Fore wings with a bright orange elon- 

 gate-fusiform stripe, which terminates near the exterior border. 

 Hind wings bright orange on the hinder half, including the whole 

 of the interior border. Length of the body 7 lines ; of the wings 

 18 lines. 



Tt differs from J. aurifusa in its more slender body, in the more 

 convex fore border of the stripe of the fore wings, and in the uninter- 

 rupted orange part of the hind wings, which part is more confined 

 to the hind border, and extends nearer to the tip of the wing.
