6 • Upperside pale vandyke-brown ; cilia white alternated with 

 brown ; a broad postdiscal bright ochraceous band not reaching 

 the costal or dorsal margin on either fore or hind wing ; on the 

 fore wing this band bears an upper and a lower round black spot 

 and has its inner margin angulated ; on the hind wings it is some- 

 what crescentic in shape, and on both fore and hind wing it is 

 outwardly defined by a zigzag dark line. Underside : fore wing 

 ochraceous, with the spots as on the upperside, the ground-colour 

 paler round the upper spot; a subterminal dark zigzag line and the 

 costal and terminal margins greyish brown. Hind wing thickly 

 irrorated with white, grey, and brown scales, the last forming a 

 broad, curved, median transverse band bordered inwardly by a 

 curved, outwardly by a zigzag, dark line ; beyond this is a post- 

 discal zigzag, highly curved similar line ; veins conspicuously pale. 

 Antenna?, head, thorax and abdomen greyish brown. 



2 • Similar, but much paler. Upperside : the whole fore wing 

 up to the dark terminal margin suffused with ochraceous. Hind 

 wing : the ochraceous transverse band much broader, diffuse 

 inwardly.

Var. leechi, Moore, is paler on the upperside, and has com- 

 paratively longer wings. Var. modesta, Moore, on the contrary, 

 is a very dark form, the ochraceous band contrasting strongly with 

 the dark bases and margins of the wings ; in many specimens 

 there is an additional spot on the upperside of the fore wing- 

 joining on to the upper spot from the interspace below.
