J Fale dull-grey, tinged with ochrey-yelloiu (especially hind-iving) ; 
neuration Uach throughout ; a common linear Uack hind-marginal edging ; 
fore-wing with a feiu transparent spots, of which two in middle are 
large. Fore-wing: two small whitish spots at base, one costal, the 
other (black bordered) at the origin of median nervure ; about middle 
two large, inwardly sub-acuminate, outwardly excavate-truncate trans- 
parent spots, divided only by median nervure, — the upper one in dis- 
coidal cell near its extremity rather shorter longitudinally than the 
lower one, which is bounded inferiorly by first median nervule ; imme- 
diately beyond these large spots, between second and third median 
nervules, a very much smaller transparent spot ; on costa, between 
third subcostal and upper radial nervules, a tripartite transparent 
marking of moderate size ; all these transparent markings more or less 
completely blackish-edged. Hind-iving : ochrey-yellow tinge strongest 
on costa, but diffused over entire area ; linear black hind-marginal 
edging becoming greatly wider and diffuse on anal-angular prominence. 
Cilia short and blackish, but at anal angle of hind-wing long and 
ochrey-yellow. Under side. — Very much paler ; hind-wing white, with 
a Uach hind-marginal border ; neuration not black, except to a limited 
extent in hind-wing. Fore-wing: no blackish edging to transparent 
markings ; basi-inner-marginal area tinged with pale creamy-yellowish ; 
a basal ochrey-yellow mark between median and submedian nervures ; 
costal, submedian, and internal nervures, and nervules near hind- 
marginal border, black ; border narrow and fuscous apically, but be- 
coming broader and darker inferiorly, particularly on anal-angular 
prominence. 
Head and body much rubbed in the two specimens before me, but 
evidently black above with creamy-yellowish spots, and ochrey-red 
prothoracic collar, metathoracic tufts and anal tuft ; and beneath with 
pale ochrey-yellow palpi, propectus and legs, — side of thorax blackish 
spotted with white, and abdomen white edged with blackish.
