 with greyish yellow; with central, longitudinal, greyish yellow stripe; and w r ith yellowish brown, 

 anterolateral area surrounded by greyish yellow; rest of dorsal surface of thorax yellowish

 yellow and yellowish brown. Inner (medial) surface of forecoxa yellowish brown, front 

 surface yellowish brown with short, orange streak medially at base and orange along lateral 

 edge; outer surface orange; rest of foreleg yellowish brown, edged on outer surface with greyish 

 yellow. Coxa of midleg greyish yellow with some yellowish brown distally ; trochanter yellowish 

 brown on inner surface, greyish yellow on outer surface; front surface of forefemur yellowish 

 brown edged laterally and medially with greyish yellow; rest of midleg yellowish brown 

 on outer surface, greyish yellow on inner surface. Hindcoxa and trochanter as midleg; 

 hind femur yellowish brown; hind tibia and tarsus as midleg. Coloration of wings as for 

 cingulata, but oblique postmedial fascia on forewing orange-yellow. Dorsal surface of abdomen 

 black on segments 1 and 2 ; 3-7 orange laterally, black dorsally (black area tapering from 3 

 to 7); 8 black with dark greyish brown posterolateral tufts; abdomen orange-yellow ventrallv 

 with dark greyish brown lateral band on each side meeting on posterior border of 7; segment 

 8 dark greyish brown. 



<$ genitalia (see Watson, 1971). Apparently indistinguishable from those of rutila. 



Forewing length: holotype $ 21-0 mm. 



Separable from cingulata by the presence of a brown marking on the head, differ- 

 ently coloured fore-coxae, and by differences in the coloration and colour-pattern 

 of the patagia and tegulae. Known only from the type.
