" Uniformly brown ; fore-wing lighter and with a greyish tinge, 
liind-wing, except at base, darker pitch-brown ; bases with bluish slate- 
grey hair; in hind-wing hair along inner margin light grey-brown, and 
near anal angle even hoary ; cilia of fore-wing brown basally but nar- 
rowly chalk-white outwardly, — of hind-wing broad and pure chalk- 
white, edged with light golden-yellow at the anal-angular projection. 
Under side. — Hind-wing: chalk-white band ending rather farther 
from inner margin than from hind-margin, elongately and bluntly trian- 
gular, its broader base (towards inner margin) bearing a larger round 
deep black spot and a smaller acute one ; beyond this two orange-red 
scaled spots, of which the inferior one is smaller, immediately at anal 
angle, and the superior one larger, more curved anteriorly and longi- 
tudinally parallel to the outline of the superior side of anal-angular 
projection. 
" Head above slate-grey ; border of eyes above and in front reddish- 
yellow, behind almost vermilion ; palpi orange-yellow with black ter- 
minal joint ; antennm black. Thorax above slate-grey, beneath bluish- 
grey on the sides. Fore-legs with femur above blackish, beneath with 
a tuft of reddish-yellow hair ; middle and hind legs with tibiae white- 
scaled at tip and bearing vivid fox- red hair beneath. Abdomen above 
brownish-grey, beneath chalk-white on each side, in the middle spotted 
with reddish-yellow." 
ISTot having seen specimens of this Hesperid, I have above adapted 
Gerstaecker s description (op. cit.). It should be added that his figure 
shows the white under part of the abdomen to be crossed by four black 
streaks. Anchises combines to some extent the markings on the under 
side of the hind-wings of Fisistratus and Keithloa, having both a white 
black-spotted band and two orange-red spots.
