fuliginous-white ; cilia alternated with white. Forewing with au elongated entire 
discoidal streak which extends half-way along the upper median veinlet and slightly 
below its base; the subapical spots are well-separated and broader than in 
pseudovikasi, the three lower discal decreasing spots being rounded, the lowest not ex¬ 
panding on the margin; the inner submarginal line is lunular, not sinuous, the outer 
lines broader. Hindiving with the inner-discal band broader than in pseudovikasi , 
and somewhat macular, the outer-discal band being also much broader, diffused, and 
sullied; the marginal line distinct. Underside chestnut-red, paler than in pseudovi¬

Imago. —Male. Upperside fuliginous-black; markings white; cilia alternated 
with white. Forewing with an elongated discoidal streak, which is indented at the 
upper end of the cell; an excurved transverse discal broad macular band, composed 
of a slender costal streak divided by the second subcostal veinlet, two elongated 
subapical somewhat oval spots, a very small more or less obscurely defined dentate 
spot, a short small dentate spot, a large broad ovate spot, a broad triangular spot, 
and lastly a narrower longer spot on posterior margin; beyond is a submarginal 
obscure black-bordered pale brown lunular line, and a less distinct marginal slender 
line. Hindiving crossed by a broad inner-discal band, and a narrow outer-discal 
lunular band, followed by an indistinct pale brown marginal lunular line, the 
submarginal band being sometimes sullied with pale brown. Underside rich dark
