Wet-season Brood (Plate 547, fig. 1, la, c, d <y, le, f $ ). 
Imago. —Male. Uppersicle grey ish- white ; basal area of fore wing glossy. 
Forewing with the base of costal border thickly irrorated with grey-black scales, 
these scales are also more or less scattered along upper area of the cell to the 
discocellular black spot, the black then extending costally into a broad outer 
marginal decreasing band, which latter ends abruptly at the lower median, and in 
some specimens black scales are more or less scattered obliquely-inward to the 
posterior margin, thus enclosing a white spot at the angle, similar to that in the 
female, the anterior inner-edge of the band curves sinuously outward from the costal 
border above end of the cell to upper median, below which it extends quadrately-inward 
and then outward to the lower median, the band enclosing two small white subapical 
obliquely-disposed spots, sometimes also an obscure upper spot, and a large angular 
spot between the upper and middle median ; a more or less large black spot is also 
present on the lower discocellular veinlet, this spot being generally slenderly or 
broadly joined to the outer band along the upper median veinlet. Hindwing with a 
black outer-marginal narrow band, which is almost macular, and, generally, with a 
connecting submarginal zigzag series of blackish scales, extending inward from the 
lower subcostal to the upper median, and in some these scales from thence are 
obscurely and broadly scattered posteriorly. Underside. Forewing greyish-white, 
the black discocellular spot and outer marginal band as on upperside, the band being 
narrowed anteriorly, the apical area being ochreo us-yellow ; from the lower end of 
the band some distinctly-apparent blackish scales generally extend inward towards 
the posterior margin. Hindwing uniformly ochreous-yellow, with slightly apparent 
blackish scaled submarginal zigzag slender fascia and a similar but less apparent 
medial fascia ; a distinct black dot on the discocellular veinlet. 
Female. Upperside greyish-white. Forewing with the base of costa and basal 
two-thirds of the cell dark grey-black scaled, the black outer border broader than in
