centra] point; marginal band irregular, a little paler than the ground

HvPERCHIEIA COMBUSTA. 



Mas. Saturate ferrugineo-fusca ; antennce pallide ochraeece, late 

 marginatce ; alee anticce elongatce, falcatce, subacutce, lineis 

 tribus obscurioribus indistinclis luteo conspersis, la brevi, 2a

Male. Deep ferruginous-brown, dull ochraceous beneath. 

 Antennae pale ochraceous, broadly pectinated. Fore wings elon- 

 gated, falcate, slightly acute, with three indistinct darker luteous- 

 speckled lines ; first line short, extending from near the base of the 

 interior border to the disk ; second extending from near the first on 

 the exterior border to the costa near the tip ; third forming a large 

 oblong ringlet between the first and the second ; under side with a 

 round black spot, which contains a small white-speckled spot, and 

 with an exterior oblique blackish line; costa curved towards the 

 tip ; exterior border hardly curved inward. Hind wings with 

 a large ochraceous ringlet, which is bordered on the inner side with

 is incompletely bordered with white; submarginal line black, fes- 

 tooned, including between it and the fawn-coloured exterior border 

 a narrow festooned reddish band ; under side with a white elongated 

 reddish-bordered dot in the disk. Length of the body 10 lines; of 

 the wings 40 lines. 



It differs from H. saturata in the narrow luteous border of the 

 ocellus, and its colour distinguishes it from H.fusca.
