The specific characters are easily tabulated since there are but 

 three species in Sir G. Hampson's Catalogue, and I have not yet 

 come across any more than the one to which I am addressing my 

 remarks. 



1 — Abdomen with lateral orange stripes 

 Abdomen without such stripes 



2 — Hindwing with inner area dark orange at base, 



the base of costa orange below 



Hindwing with the inner area and base of costa 

 below whitish 



3 — Abdomen black brown 

 Abdomen fulvous brown, scarlet lake laterally... 



Detailed Description. 

 Expanse, 25 mm. 



Antenna (fragmentary see above,) basal joints tubular ; upper 

 part of shaft composed of suboval joints truncated and bicuspidate 

 anteriorly, each cusp normally emitting a fine bristle. There are 

 other bristles on most of the annuli. 



Palpi. Basal joint curved upwards, stout, well-clothed with 

 large scales ; second joint not so long as basal joint, directed upwards 

 and forward more sparsely clothed with scales. Third joint small, 

 not quite half as long as the second joint ellipsoid, slightly scaled 

 with a terminal tuft of fine hair. 



Legs. Well developed foreleg with a single median tibial spur, 

 a pair of well-developed claws, paronychia and pulvilli; median legs 

 with a weak pair of terminal tibial spurs, a single large pectinated 

 claw, a pair of bristles and pulvilli ; posterior legs with moderately 

 developed median and terminal pairs of tibial spurs, tarsus armed 

 with small spines, a pair of claws and a paronychium. 



Wings. Forewings strongly built with thickisn fabric and 

 powerful nervures ; long and narrow. Costa medially slightly 

 inarched, apically strongly arched, apex fairly acute (costa, 11 mm.) 



Termen apically excurved, medially incurved ; dorsum, shorter 

 than costa being 7.5 mm. making tornal angle obtuse, very slightly 

 excurved. 



Hindwings, costa long, nearly straight, apex acute ; termen long 

 excurved from apex to vein 2 and then medially slightly incurved ; 

 tornal angle very obtuse, dorsum short, nearly straight. 



Neuration ; — 



Forewing. 1, simple at base, reaching tornus ; 2, rising 

 4-5ths of cell to termen well away lrom 1 ; 3, from near end of 

 cell ; 4, from lower angle of cell, nearly straight to termen ; 5, 

 rising close to 4, upcurved, and then parallel to 4 ; 6, from 

 upper discocellular close to, but below upper angle of cell to 

 termen ; 7, 8, 9 and 10 stalked ; 7 rising from 8 posteriorly to 

 10 anteriorly to 9 to termen just below apex ; 8 to costa above 

 apex ; 9 from 8 anteriorly to 7 to costa; 10 from 8 posteriorly
