Vol. 1, p. 96. 
The redescription of this species published by Hampson 
(1898) is quite accurate. The figures given by Moore 
(1859) and Seitz (1913) are exact except for the number 
of the yellow abdominal girdles. Actually, there are sev- 
en such girdles in the male, six in the female. 
Male genitalia (fig. 1) : Uncus moderately thickened, 
not too long, slightly curved downward. Tegumen with 
short, equal lateral appendages. Valvae subtrapezoidal, 
the right one rather broader; processus basalis of the 
right valva curved caudad, that of the left valva directed 
upward. Aedoeagus moderately long, rather thick, with 
a row of small cornuti. 
Specimens examined: three males and two females, 
Java; one male, Tjampea, Java, 1892; one male, Tagal, 
Java; one female, Ardjouno, Neeb leg.; one female, Padang, 
Sumatra (Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden).

The whole appearance of this moth, described as an 
independent species, is that of an aberration of pfeifferae 
with reduced spots. The single male specimen examined 
by the author is very like that of quadripunctata figured 
by Rothschild (1913) except for the forewing spots (es- 
pecially m 3 , m 5 and m 6 ) which are somewhat larger, and 
a distal spot occurring in the hind wing. The middle cell 
of the hind wing orange as in pfeifferae, and the specimen 
examined otherwise identical to pfeifferae in the mai'kings 
of the head and body. 
Male genitalia (fig. 2) : Uncus somewhat more slender 
and longer than in pfeifferae. The left lateral appendage
