J Brown, luith mostly sharply-defined , suh-qitadrate, pale ochreous- 
yellow spots ; cilia dull yellowish-iuhite, mixed tvith greyish in fore-iving. 
Fore-iving : basal third scaled with pale ochreous-yellow ; a good- sized 
terminal disco-cellular spot ; between it and submedian nervure, ob- 
liquely placed towards base, two smaller spots, of which the upper one 
is crossed by beginning of first median nervule ; a discal row of six 
sharply-defined spots, of which the upper three are considerably smaller 
and united to form a short and narrow subapical bar, — the fourth and 
fifth united between third and first median nervules, — and the sixth 
separated just above submedian nervure. Hind-iving : over discoidal 
cell and upper part of inner-marginal fold some sparse yellowish hairs ; 
a small and rather indistinct terminal disco-cellular spot ; an irregular 
discal band composed of five spots, the second of which (just beyond 
end of cell) is much the largest, and the fifth rather large and indis- 
tinct. Under side. — Hind-iving, and all fore-wing except fuscous inner- 
marginal arca^ creamy-yelloiu, with small black spots. Fore-wing: a 
short black longitudinal streak in basal two-thirds of discoidal cell, and 
a small black spot at upper corner of extremity of cell ; only lower 
three spots of discal row apparent, much paler than on upper side, but 
inner edge of upper three indicated by three minute black dots, and 
outer edge of all except the lowest by a series of five inter-nervular 
short black rays (thicker inwardly) extending to hind-margin ; two 
similar but longer and more linear rays from just beyond extremity of 
cell ; cost a and hind-margin with a linear black edging. Hind-wing : 
an indistinct fuscous streak along cost a from base, a little within the 
edge ; a spot close to base just above subcostal nervure, and another 
(before middle) below it ; an irregular discal row of five spots, of which 
the third and fourth are considerably beyond the others ; and a sub- 
marginal row of five, of which the fifth is considerably before the 
others ; inner-marginal fold and anal-angular area of a deeper yellow, 
and marked superiorly by a strong longitudinal black ray from base ; 
hind-margin with a linear black edge. 
Head black, with some creamy-white hairs in front, two white spots 
on middle line of vertex, a larger spot behind base of each antennas, and 
a yellowish half -ring behind eyes ; antennce black, the basal half of 
club beneath and some of the articulations marked with pale-yellowish ; 
palpi above black with a conspicuous white mark near extremity of 
second joint, beneath (except terminal joint) creamy-yellow. Thorax
