LEPIDOPTERA IN DIG A. 
bands crossing middle of tlie cell, the outer one extending slightly up tlie base of 
second median branch, and the inner one sometimes less so up the first median; two 
partly-connected bands across apex of the cell; beyond is a discal transverse band 
which is wavy anteriorly and interiorly broken above the fourth median ; followed by 
a submarginal narrower undulated band which is posteriorly coalesced to the discal 
band, and then by a broader marginal band ; the outer veinlets from the third median 
upward are lined and edged with black from the cell outward, and the two lower 
medians also similarly black lined from the discal band. Cilia black, slightly edged 
with white. Hindwing with a black slender basal band extending obscurely along 
each side of the submedian vein to above abdominal angle ; a parallel subbasal band 
obliquely crossing the cell and along the low r er median veinlet, its lower end joining 
the former; a less defined and very slender waved medial band, extending from 
below the costa, across the cell, and thence obsolescently to the middle median 
veinlet, followed by a discal, a submarginal, and then a marginal slender interrupted 
band, each extending from the subcostal to the radial veinlet, the discal band from 
the latter inwardly joining the ends of the subbasal and basal bands ; the broad anal 
interspace, from the radial, including the tail, being black—thus forming a large 
anal patch, which latter is inwardly speckled with gre} 7- scales, and outwardly has 
three marginal blue-scaled lunules, as well as two bright yellow spots from the 
abdominal angle, below which is a triangular white spot indented by an upwardly- 
oblique black point, a similar white spot being present above the upper median angle. 
Cilia, inclusive of that of the tail, and also its tip, white. Underside. Forewing 
similar to the upperside, except that the outer transverse bands are narrower and 
less prominent. Hindwing with the ground-colour pale olivescent-yellow, the black 
markings, similar to the upperside, but more distinctly defined, the veins outwardly 
from the cell being also black-lined, the medial band looped at its costal end and 
also at apex of the cell, the three outer slender interrupted bands each extending 
upward to the costal vein, the two yellow spots from abdominal angle paler, and the 
black anal patch with three irregular-shaped spots of the ground-colour above the 
blue-scaled lunules. Body above, from frontal tuft, covered laterally with long fine 
silky grey hairs, and dorsally with blackish hairs; palpi white; sides of thorax 
beneath black ; thorax and abdomen beneath covered with long grey hairs, the latter 
with a lateral black streak; legs grey, femora above blackish; antennas black. 
Female. Upper and underside similar to the male.
