its inner edge incurved at discal fold and as strongly excurved below, and inangled on submedian fold; 
the fringe yellowish white from apex to middle; a narrow strip of termen and the fringe beyond it

minal black spots triangular; stigmata partially outlined in black; the orbicular oval, oblique; the reni¬ 
form extending well below median vein; hindwing fuscous black with a broad oblique pale yellow band 
beyond cell from costa to vein 2, its inner edge irregular; extreme termen yellow on submedian inter¬ 
space; fringe yellow with fuscous marks at middle; — in ab. leucostigma ab. nov. (= ab. 2 Hmps.), the leucostig- 
outer part of reniform stigma bears a large white patch; in ab. albipunctata ab. nov., (= ab. 1 Hmps.) iC

with pale annulus outlined with black; reniform whitish with rufous tinge, inwardly defined by black, 
its centre rufous, and outer edge wavy; hindwing fuscous, with a broad oblique yellowish white band 
beyond cell from costa to vein 2, angled inwards below cell; a sinuous outer line pale-edgecl externally; 
termen yellow on submedian interspace; fringe yellow, with fuscous at middle; the $ has the reniform
