6 2 • Fore wing elongate ; costa straight, slightly arched along 

 its apical third; apex rounded ; termen very oblique; tornus 

 rounded ; dorsum straight ; cell elongate, somewhat more than 

 half the length of the wing; upper discocellular obsolete or 

 very short, middle deeply concave, lower inclined very obliquely 

 outwards ; vein 3 from well before lower apex of cell, 4 from 

 apex ; origin of veins 6, 10 and 11 variable, 6 sometimes from 

 upper apex of cell, sometimes a little below it, 10 always out of 

 7 but at varying distance from upper apex of cell, 11 free or 

 from upper apex of cell, 12 long, terminating on apical third of 

 the costal margin. Hind wing elongate : costa sharply straight ; 

 apex rounded ; termen strongly curved ; tornus rounded ; dorsum 

 straight, slightly convex towards base ; cell long ; vein 3 from 

 before lower apex of cell, 4 from apex ; 6 and 7 stalked, more or 

 less well beyond upper apex of cell ; 8 very long, straight, running 

 parallel to costal margin, terminating at apex. Antenna? a little 

 less than half length of wing ; club gradual, rounded at apex, 

 slightly flattened ; palpi short, cylindrical, sparsely hairy ; eyes

 broadly and apical half of those along the terminal margin narrowly 

 black ; a broad curved mark along the discocellulars, the apex 

 and terminal margin more or less broadly also black, the last 

 traversed by a series o£ spots of the ground-colour. Hind wing:

 the terminal along the veins. Underside : fore wing ground-colour 

 yellow, getting paler towards apex, the veins conspicuously darker, 

 the black discocellular mark showing through by transparency. Hind
