ferruginous median streak from base beneath cell ; a few scattered 
fuscous scales, mostly on veins ; median vein and all veins towards 
termen slightly whitish ; a series of fuscous dots on veins from f costa 
obliquely outwards, curved in disc, ending on f dorsum ; cilia pinkish- 
grey. Hindwings with termen sinuate ; white ; a slender fuscous 
terminal line ; cilia white. Underside whitish, tow r ards costa of fore-

CIRPHIS PORPHYRODES. 
[7rop(f)vpw8r]<;, purplish.] 
(J. 30 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, and abdomen fuscous- 
whitish ; two faint transverse whitish lines on tegulae ; antennal cilia- 
tions in $ \ ; genital tufts in $ large. Legs pale-fuscous ; anterior 
coxae and femora in <J without massive tufts. Forewings elongate, 
costa nearly straight, apex round-pointed, termen scarcely oblique, 
rounded beneath; whitish mixed with browuish-fuscous with a purplish 
tinge ; veins whitish ; a darker median streak from base beneath cell ; 
a similar streak above dorsum towards base, two fine streaks in cell, 
and others between veins ; a dark-fuscous dot on lower angle of cell ; 
a series of dark-fuscous dots on veins, commencing on f costa, running 
obliquely outwards, then curved parallel to termen, and ending on f 
dorsum; a series of dark-fuscous terminal dots between veins; cilia 
pale-fuscous. Hindwings with termen sinuate; fuscous-whitish, paler 
towards base, pale-f uscous towards termen ; cilia whitish. Underside 
fuscous- whitish ; some fuscous irroration towards costa on both wings > 
a suffused fuscous transverse line on forewings at f . 
According to Hatnpson's description (Cat. Lep. Phal. v, p. 523) 
this should be allied to Cirphis roseilinea, Wlk., from Borneo, India, 
and China; but the latter has an ochreous abdomen and ochreous- 
whitish hindwings.
