beyond centre, and the second a little distance before end of cell ; third about midway between apices of cell 

 and wing, and the fourth and fifth bifurcating a short distance beyond base of third 5 the second and third are 

 more or less sudde nly ampliated and rounded ; the fourth bent and angulated near its centre ; disco-cellular 

 nervules slender, closing cell ; firnt median nervule rounded and with an apparently common origin with the 

 second; second and third situate wide apart. Posterior wings subovate, the costal margin gibbous and 

 angularly rounded near base, after which it is slightly oblique and convex to apex ; outer margin rounded and 

 waved; abdominal margin somewhat straight to abdominal apex, after which it is angulated and divergently 

 oblique to anal angle ; subcostal nervules emitted at a less distance from each other than the first is from 

 base of subcostal nervure ; lower disco-cellular norvulo obsolete. Antennre long, with a gradually -formed 

 elongate club. Palpi moderately robust, hairy, porrect, and raised to about the upper level of the eyes, 



This is a genus of small extent, and apparently confined to Continental India and the 

 Lido-Malayan Region. I have found no record or description of either larva or pupa.

Male, Wings above brownisb ochraceous. Anterior wings with the cell crossed by three pairs of 

 blackish lines, of which two are basal, two central enclosing a large whitish spot, and two at apex; 

 beneath cell ami betwee n the third median nervule and submedian nervure are some black linear markings ; 

 beyond cell the wing is crossed by an irregular series of eight white spots divided by the nervules, of which 

 the sixth and seventh are largest, and separated by the third median nervule ; these are followed by a 

 straight series of six lunulate white spots margined with fuscous, that beneath the third median nervnle 

 being duplex; apex somewhat broadly white; a waved fuscous submarginal line, margined with white, 

 and commencing beneath the fifth subcostal nervule. Posterior wings with the cell crossed by two central, 

 waved, black lines, which are continued to near Milmu-dian nervure, and two short contiguous black lines 

 near apex; a discal oblique white fascia (continuous to the series of spots on anterior wings), narrowing 

 towards anal angle and margined on each side with fuscous; this is followed by a series of fuscous 

 lunulate spots, inwardly margined with whitish : a snbniargina] lint- as on anterior wings, but preceded by 

 Borne obscure fuscous lunulate spots ; margins of both wings narrowly fuscous, with the fringe greyish ; 

 abdominal margin greyish. Wings beneath pule ochraceous ; anterior wings marked as above, but much 

 paler; posterior wings marked generally as above, but much paler, the central series of fuscous 

 lunulate spots almost obsolete, and with two fuscous lines between the bases of costal and subcostal 

 uervures. Body and legs more or less coneoknvms with wings. 



Female, Wings above as in male, but broader, and with the discal series of white spots much 

 attenuated, the submarginal line extending to apex, which is not white, and with tiie white spot absent 

 from cell. Posterior wings as in male, but with the central white fascia very narrow, and its following 

 fuscous spots not margined with white. Wings beneath much paler than above, and with the markings 

 bearing the same relation to those of the upper surface as obtains in the male. 



Exp. wings, J 52 millim, ; J 50 to 58 millim.
