at the base of the wings. Subcostal and median nervures 

 blotched from base to arculus with deep reddish-black; on the 

 same nervures, half-way to the nodus, is a semicircular spot of 

 deep ruby colour surrounded by black; in the hindwings this 

 spot touches the costa. On the forewings only, half-way between 

 this spot and the nodus, is a similar but smaller spot. On all the 

 wings there are also four larger spots of the same colour, some- 

 what irregular in shape, and placed as follows : — one enveloping 

 the nodus and first postnodal, a second half-way between the 

 nodus and pterostigma, a third under the pterostigma itself, and 

 a fourth, rather oval in shape, at the tip of the wing. Pterostigma 

 narrow, 3 - 6 mm., bright ruby-red. Nodal Indicator 1 1 3-14 9-111 

 Head: Eyes touching for about 2 mm., a ridge of ! 9-10 10 

 stiff hairs at back of orbits Epicranium hairy; seen from above, 

 the front is slightly curved, projecting outwards and slightly 

 upwards like a flat shelf; the vertex and ocellar area tucked away 

 between it and the eyes. Colour very dark brown, a paler line 

 along the frontal ridge. Antennce short, black, basal joint 

 thickened. Postclypeus broader than front, dark brown, a trans- 

 verse band of orange-brown ; anteclypeus narrow dark brown; 

 labrum dark brown with a transverse narrow band of orange- 

 brown; labium and mandibles dark brown. Thorax: Pro- 

 thorax brown. Meso- and metathorax short, downy, dark chocolate- 

 brown; a pair of humeral orange bands, almost straight, pointed 

 slightly outwards in front; on either side two broader lateral 

 orange bands wide apart, the upper one followed closely by a 

 round orange spot close to mesocoxa. Leys rather short and 

 thick, black with brown femora. Abdomen: Moderately 

 stout; 1-2 and 8-9 slightly swollen; 2-7 with medial, transverse, 

 supplementary carinas; latter and sutures black; markings of 

 abdomen faded and indistinct in the only specimen I have seen; 

 ground-colour brown; 9 carrying 2 filaments, 1-5 mm. long; 10 

 rather narrow, rounded below, carrying a blunt tubercle, sparingly 

 hairy, followed by another tubercle underneath. Appendages: 

 Straight, cylindrical, 1-2 mm. long, wide apart, parallel, tips 

 blunt; colour black.
