! apex, interrupted in four places ; three spots in discoidal cell, the 
, outer one lunular and closing cell, that nearest base subquadrate, the 
j central one (nearer to basal than outer spot) quadrate, elongate ; below 
I first cellular spot, touching submedian nervure, a whitish spot divided 
. by longitudinal fold ; a discal row of four spots, of which the first is 
rather large and crossed by two subcostal nervules, the second small, 
! between third and second median nervules, the third large and just 
below outer cellular spot and crossed by first median nervule, the 
i fourth small and semicircular (above submedian nervure), and the 
nearest to base of the row ; between this row and cilia two rows of 
white dots, the inner one of eight dots usually complete and well 
I marked, the outer imperfect, with its dots between nervules and touch- 
ing cilia. HiTid-iuing : a small round spot in discoidal cell near base ; a 
; rather, broad, short, white, transverse, discal band, abruptly commencing 
on second subcostal nervule, crosses end of cell and extends irregularly 
I and more narrowly to submedian nervure ; rows of dots as in fore- 
' wing, but outer row more regular and perfect than inner, which is 
obsolete towards costa, but of which the first dot (on fold beyond cell) 
. is enlarged into a good-sized spot. Cilia broad, white, broadly inter- 
rupted with black on nervules. Under side. — Costa and apex of fore- 
wing and ground-colour of liind-wing "paler or darker yellowish-ochi^eous ; 
' Hack of fore-iving less dark. Fore-iving : spots as on upper side, but 
all rather larger ; costa from base broadly whitish. IIi7id-iuing : costa 
edged with whitish, especially on basal prominence ; discal band longer 
than on upper side, commencing on costa, but widely interrupted on 
subcostal nervules, its extremity joining a longitudinal white space on 
inner margin from base to anal angle, bounded by submedian ; before 
middle a similar transverse white stripe, commencing with a large 
costal patch, more or less interrupted on subcostal nervure, and nar- 
rowing to join inner-marginal white on submedian. Cilia tinged with 
yellowish, the interruptions with ochreous. 
Head above blackish, with a white spot on each side next the eye, 
but frontally clothed with a mixture of blackish, whitish, and yellowish 
hairs ; pencil of hairs at base of each antenna mostly black, but partly 
yellowish ; antennae black above but white beneath, with the extremity 
of the club beneath ferruginous-red ; palpi above with mixed hairs 
like those of front, but beneath with creamy-white hairs and scales 
only, except as regards terminal joint, which is black. Thorax above 
black, rather densely clothed frontally and laterally with yellow- 
ish-grey, posteriorly with hoary-grey hair ; beneath very densely 
clothed with white or creamy-white hair ; legs creamy, tinged with 
brownish superiorly. Ahdomen above black, with very distinct white 
segmental incisions ; laterally tinged with ochreous-yellow ; iuferiorly 
white.
