more salmon-coloured. At the cross-vein a large black oval spot. Interior line double, from above the inner

margin projecting at base. Vein 5 rather far in front, 6 from the upper angle, veins 9+7+8 stalked, 10 and 
11 free. In the hindwing vein 5 also farther in front, 6 + 7 on a long stalk, from the cell-end a bar to veins 8. 
St. multipuncta Hmps. Body and forewing red-brown, hued with violettish grey, with black spots, viultipunc- 
One of them is round below the base of the cell, a triangular one in the cell above vein 2, and one at the upper

edged with grey. Hindwing pale red-brown. 9 23 mm. Niger District.
