Auxima debitaria, Wall-er, Cat. Lep. Ilet, xxv. p. 1527 (1862). 
Wings above golden testaceous, clouded with grey and rosy brownish ; speckled and 
indistinctly striated with blackish ; crossed near the base by a dark greyish line, 3-shaped in 
the primaries^ but straight in the secondaries ; a second line, bordered internally with pearl- 
white, runs from the apex of the primaries to the external third of inner margin and thence 
across the middle of the secondaries ; a very indistinct and much interrupted external border 
of rosy- greyish strise, which only coalesce to form a definite border towards the external angle 
of the primaries ; on these wings also there is a blackish dot at the end of the cell : body 
whity brown, with the antennae, tegulse, and abdomen slightly rufous. Under surface whity 
brown, striated with grey-brown, the wings crossed by two unequally defined bands and 
an equally broad external border of grey and greyish brown ; a series of black dots on the 
veins between the two bands : venter slightly rufous. Expanse of wings 58 millim.

Auxima restitutaria, WaR-er, Cat. Lep. Het. xsv. p. 1527 (1862). 
^ . Bright reddish castaneous glossed with rose-pink, crossed from apex of primaries to 
middle of abdominal margin by a brown-edged, silvery line, bounded internally by a band, 
which gradually expands towards costa of primaries, of a deeper and brighter tint than the 
ground-colour; basal third of the wings paler and more pink than the rest of the ground- 
colour, excepting a zigzag stripe beyond the silvery line and a diffused submarginal streak : on 
the secondaries the zigzag stripe is dotted here and there with white points, and between 
the subcostal branches is partly obscured by a dark grey patch : thorax rufous-brown, 
greyish at the back ; abdomen sandy testaceous, with the anal segment flesh-coloured. 
Under surface of wings sandy testaceous, ii-rorated with grey and tinted here and there 
with pink, crossed near the middle by an oblique mahogany-brown stripe, beyond which 
they are more or less deeply tinted with sienna, this colour is, however, decjoest towards 
the outer margin of the secondaries ; a series of black points upon the veins at a short 
distance beyond the oblique stripe, and halfway between this series and the outer 
margin a series of whitish points also on the veins ; fringe mahogany-brown. Primaries 
with a sienna-brown spot upon the third median branch, and two unequal blackish costal 
spots near the apex. Body below flesh-pink. Expanse of wings 74 millim. 
? . Larger than the male, with all the testaceous and sienna colouring replaced by 
pale golden olivaceous and leaden gi'cy. Expanse of wings 77 millim.
