crossed by ferruginous bars; disk whitey-brown ; apex and 
outer border shining testaceous, almost golden; a submarginal 
series of white dots; fringe silvery white, black-spotted ; second- 
aries pale testaceous, increasing in intensity to the outer border 
which is golden, crossed by parallel crenate olivaceous lines, 
three of which form a central band, relieved externally by white 
lunules ; disc crossed by paler olivaceous lines, followed by a 
submarginal series of white lunules; body below testaceous. 
Expanse of wings one inch, 
Some specimens have the markings of a bronze-colour instead 
of olive green. 
Cidaria similata, Walk. (Cid. timarata, Feld).—Ground colour of 
superior wings a somewhat bright green, crossed by numerous 
blackish bands having a confused appearance. Base greenish, 
followed by a broad black band bordered by double lines and 
green in the centre. Between this black band and the inner 
edge of the median place is a narrow band of two blackish green 
lines. The inner band of the median space is of indistinct black 
lines and is bordered with white on the inside. The centre of 
the median space is filled by a band of the ground-colour, con- 
taining a black discal streak edged with reddish brown. The 
outer band of the median space is composed of several black 
lines, the spaces between these being clouded partly with black 
and partly with green. The outer side of this band is edged 
with white. The submarginal band is blackish, edged outside 
with white, and is interrupted opposite the end of the oblique 
apical streak and also in the middle. The space between this 
band and the outer edge of the median space is clouded with 
blackish. There are black. marginal crescents between the 
nerves, and from these to the submarginal band are black streaks. 
Fringe reddish. Inferior wings pale fawn colour with a darker 
brownish tinge towards the abdominal margin. Traces of black 
lines at the abdominal margin continued across the wing by 
black dots on the veins. Marginal crescents as in the forewings 
and fringe also reddish. Underside of forewings a rosy brown. 
On the forewings the black cellular dot, several of the black 
bands and the white edging of the submarginal band can be 
traced. The hind wings are paler and have a black cellular dot 
followed by about five waved dark lines, the middle one of which 
has pointed black marks on the veins. Marginal festoon reddish 
brown, almost continuous, fringe as above. Body green with 
black dorsal spots. Expanse of wings a little over one inch and 
a fifth. |
