is a very obscure small pale brown dentate spot; a submarginal obscure pale 
brownish-white lunular line. HindwMg crossed by a broad inner-discal band, a 
narrow outer-discal somewhat quadro-lunular band, between which is a medial 
discal obscure pale brown slender lunular line, and beyond a submarginal line. 
Underside pale dull yellowish-ochreous; markings as above, less defined, all pure 
white, the submarginal lines, and the medial and outer-discal band on the hindwing 
being suffused with pale lilac. Forewing also with the discoidal streak, discal and 
lower spots continued in an uninterrupted curved series to the posterior margin, 
the lower discal interspace being slightly suffused with fuliginous-brown. Hindwing 
also with a series of small lilacine-white spots between the costal vein and discal 
band. Body and palpi above fuliginous-brown, beneath and forelegs greyish-white ; 
middle and hind legs pale greyish-ochreous ; antennae black. 
Expanse, d 2^ inches. 
Habitat. —N. India.

Imago. —Male. Upperside fuliginous-black; markings sullied white ; cilia 
alternated with white. Forewing with a sullied-white somewhat fusiform elongated 
entire discoidal streak extending along lower area of the cell to beyond the base of 
upper median veinlet; above the middle of the streak, within the cell, is a very 
small slightly-defined whitish speckled spot; above the end of the streak are four 
small outwardly-oblique slender spots from the costa, divided by the subcostal 
veinlets; beyond are three subapical oblique spots, the upper small and narrow, the 
second much larger and its ends sullied with ochreous, the third being smaller and 
triangulate; below are two discal larger elongated conjoined spots, disposed between 
the medians, the upper one joining the lower end of the discoidal streak, both being 
disposed obliquely-outward; below these are two smaller narrow conjoined spots, 
disposed obliquely-inward on the posterior margin; beyond is a submarginal pale 
fuliginous-grey narrow lunular line. Hindwing crossed by a broad white inner- 
discal band, and a narrow submarginal anteriorly-attenuating fuliginous-white 
lunular band. Underside, ground-colour yellowish-ochreous, the white markings, as 
above, but somewhat broader, and their edges less sharply defined ; the two series 
of subapical spots, and submarginal lunular band on both wings being distinctly
