LEPIDOPTERA INDICA. 
broadly glossy greyish-white enclosing a very pale brown patch of scales above the 
submedian vein. Hindwing with the exterior margin more oblique, and even ; both 
subcostal branches emitted together opposite the precostal vein; radial at some 
distance from base of the second subcostal; costal border, basally, broadly glossy 
greyish-white, extending to below base of the radial veinlet, and in the dry-season 
form, isolating an elongated unglossed brownish patch of scales between the bases 
of subcostals. Body slender ; palpi slender, laxly clothed with fine hairs ; antennal 
club slender.

Imago. —Male and female. Upperside rich ochreous-black ; cilia greyish-brown. 
Forewing with a rich yellowish-ochreous discoidal streak which does not extend 
below the median vein, it is indented at the discocellulars by a slender ochreous- 
centred wedge-shaped mark ; a subapical broad band somewhat irregularly edged 
on both sides, a lower-discal oblique broad band which is slightly constricted in its 
middle, and the upper portion sinuous outwardly; beyond is a prominent ochreous 
somewhat broad lunular submarginal line and a very slender less-defined dull 
ochreous marginal line. Hindiving with a yellowish-ochreous broad inner-discal 
band which widens anteriorly, and a narrow outer-discal curved band, followed by a 
slender dull ochreous submarginal line ; costal border, basally, broadly, glossy greyish- 
white, extending to below base of the radial veinlet, and isolating an elongated 
unglossed brownish patch of scales between bases of the subcostals. Underside 
with pale dull yellowish-ochreous less-defiued markings, as above, except that the 
discoidal streak extends very slightly below the cell, the intervening ground-colour 
being uniformly pale obscure ochreous-brown. Hind wing also with the costal base 
pale yellowish-ochreous well separated from the subbasal dark band by the costal 
vein; and in the male the subbasal dark band has a projecting outward angle between 
the subcostal veins. Body and palpi above black; tegulae and band on base of 
abdomen ochreous ; palpi and thorax beneath, forelegs, and hind femora pale-greyish ; 
abdomen beneath and hind tibiae and tarsi pale ochreous; antennae black.
