somewhat elongate black dots or spots, not very intense ; fringe rather 
pale, with a thick dark dividing line and more definitely dark-spotted 
opposite the veins. Hindwing with termen slightly waved and a very 
little more prominent at R 3 (about as in johnstoni ) ; coloured and marked 
nearly like forewing, discal dot smaller, antemedian line wanting, median 
straight or very slightly sinuous, well beyond discal dot, postmedian feebly 
bent in middle, without the crenulations of johnstoni. Under surface 
rather paler, but strongly irrorated, costa and veins tinged with ochreous, 
discal dots and median and postmedian lines traceable but not strong, 
distal area slightly darkened.

As in johnstoni , the forewing has SC 1 ' 2 coincident, free. In both the 
$$ the termen of the forewing is slightly less even and that of the hindwing 
shows a slightly more noticeable excision between the radials. Thus one 
of the intergrades which make it doubtful whether the genus should not 
sink to Macaria ; if it be tenable, Discalma Meyr. must take precedence 
of Jephrinopsis Warr., which has been in general use ; both are founded 
on the same type ( normata Walk. = parallelaria Walk.).

(j, 27-29 mm. Head and body concolorous with wings. Palpus 
about one and a half, more yellowish beneath than above. Antennal 
ciliation less than half. Abdomen rather long and slender. Hindtibia 
dilated with hair-pencil. Forewing with termen scarcely at all concave 
anteriorly, almost inappreciably bent in middle ; fawn-colour, mixed with 
violet-grey, darker in distal area, the dark irr oration not very intense ; 
lines fine, brownish ; antemedian from costa at one-fourth, forming an 
outward curve in its anterior half, angled inwards on M, then again 
excurved, though quite feebly ; median shade from costa at one-half, 
angled at R 1 , crossing or touching the posterior extremity of the large 
black cell-dot, slightly curved inwards between M and $M 2 ; postmedian 
from costa at about two-thirds, angled or strongly bent at R 1 , then almost 
straight, without the second angle of leighi Warr. ; distal area mostly 
occupied by a dark cloud (proximalfy more brown, especially just behind 
R 3 ), its anterior edge (not sharply defined) running obliquely from R 3 to 
termen near apex ; terminal line fine and slight, brown, interrupted ; 
fringe clouded with grey. Hindwing relatively large, its distal margin 
little crenulate, but produced in middle, with a well-marked angle or tooth 
at R 3 ; first line wanting, median making a curve round the proximal 
side of the conspicuous black cell-dot, postmedian not very distinct at 
costa, bluntly bent in middle, curving somewhat towards tornus at inner 
margin ; a vague brown shade distally to the postmedian, limited by a 
still vaguer pale subterminal clouding. Under surface white, with coarse, 
in places confluent, olive-brown irroration, veins ochreous ; forewing with 
costal margin ochreous ; both wings with cell-spot, ill-defined olive-brown
