LEPID OPT ERA INDICA. 
arched, apex rounded, exterior margin slightly scalloped. Upperside with a slightly 
perceptible broad transverse discal glandular fascia, clothed with long narrow dark 
scales with bidentate or tridentate tips, interspersed with very numerous slender long 
androconia with long bulbous base and fine hair-like tasselled tip, and also with a 
few fine long hairs; costal vein slightly swollen at the base; cell extending to more 
than half the wing; discocellulars outwardly oblique and slightly excurved, upper 
radial near the subcostal, lower radial from slight angle above the middle. Hindwing 
short, broad ; exterior margin obliquely-convex, scalloped and with an obtuse broad 
angle at end of middle median veinlet, anal angle rounded ; cell extending fully half the 
wing ; discocellulars very oblique and angular in the middle, radial from the angle ; 
middle median emitted at end of the cell. Body rather robust, thorax finely hairy; 
palpi rather short and stout, thickly hairy in front, apical joint long, cylindrical ; 
legs stout, femora finely hairy beneath ; antennse rather stout, with a well-formed 
thickened club ; eyes hairy.

Imago.— Male. Upperside dusky olivescent ochreous-brown, darkest exteriorly ; 
cilia alternated with ochreous-white. Borewing crossed by a slightly-perceptible broad 
dusky discal glandular fascia , clothed with long narrow scales with bidentate or tri¬ 
dentate tips, and interspersed with very numerous slender androconia with long bulbous 
base and finehair-like tasselled tip, of similar length, and also with a few fine long hairs ; 
two prominent ochreous-white sinuous streaks within the cell, an elongated streak 
below the cell, and two outer discal transverse irregular series of spots, the posterior 
streak being more or less ochreous at its base. Hindwing with two outer curved 
series of dark ochreous-yellow conical spots, those between the median veinlets and 
also of the radial having an intervening blackish spot, the lowest spot always being 
round and encircled by a distinct ochreous ring, the other two being generally quad¬ 
rate ; the cell and abdominal border clouded with ochreous. Underside dark-brown. 
Borewing with the cell streaks, the posterior streak, and the outer series of spots, as 
on the upperside, but more irregularly defined and whiter; between the radials and 
also between the two upper medians is a black ocellate spot, each with an ochreous 
ring and then a more or less defined black ring, the upper spot being the smallest 
and more prominent; a third similar-ringed spot is also present between the lower 
radial and upper median, but is almost obliterated by the ordinary white spot; along
