spots on the folds on its outer edge; outer line sharply angled on vein 7, then inwardly oblique, with dark 
spots on its inner side and a wihte toothshaped mark from its outer edge between 5 and 6; subterminal line lun- 
ulate dentate, pale, with a black apical streak to it; terminal black dots; orbicular stigma a black spot; 
reniform a white spot ringed with black at lower end of cell; in the $ the white tooth beyond outer line is 
absent; hindwing similar, the median space between the two lines, as in forewing, rather darker; underside 
paler, more ochreous, the terminal areas pinkish grey; cellspots and outer lines blackish; palpi ochreous, the 
basal half of second segment externally black; head and tegulae and base of patagia ochreous; thorax, rest 
of patagia, and dorsum reddish grey; the crests black; forelegs black; a pair from Kei Island, taken, the $

reniform stigma an oblique snow white bar on lower half of discocellular and a white dot at upper end; the outer

shade; the double cellspot black; space between the two lines below middle whitish; underside of fore wing 
pinkish grey, of hindwing whitish, both speckled with dark; the outer lines and cell spots blackish; head, 
tegulae, and base of patagia pinkish grey dusted with dark; thorax and rest of patagia fuscous brown; the

the two terminal segments; forewing elongate triangular, the termen oblique, slightly curved; vein 8 ana¬
