LEPIDOPTERA HETEROCERA. 199 



whitish yellow stripe and with broad whitish yellow bands ; tip 

 luteous beneath. Legs with yellowish stripes. Fore wings with 

 yellowish streaks on the veins at the base, and with a white band, 

 which is composed of six move or less connected spots of various 

 size, and does not extend to the interior border. Hind wings white, 

 with a very broad dark brown border. Length of the body 8 lines ; 

 of the wings 28 lines. 



It is very closely allied to N. lacticinia, but may be dis- 

 tinguished by the much narrower bands on the abdomen, by the 

 narrower and differently shaped band of the fore wings, and by the 

 much broader marginal band of the hind wings.

 some other characters will sufficiently distinguish it from that 

 species.
