Antennae ¢ biciliate -1; very pale brownish grey. Palpi whitish, the median joint shaded with brownish 
fuscous externally. Head and Thorax very pale stone-greyish. Forewings with the costa slightly convex, 
apex and tornus rounded, termen straight; pale stone-grey, with pale rust-brown markings which tend 
to throw up rather more intensely coloured rust-brown scales along their margins ; these consist of first, 
an irregular, large, dorsal patch covering two-fifths of the dorsum, throwing out a slight angle on the 
fold, and a stronger projecting angle upward nearly to the costa, but not reaching the base ; secondly, a 
broken and rather outwardly oblique fasciate shade a little beyond the middle, forming a costal spot, an 
inwardly projecting patch at the end of the cell, and a short length-spot on the dorsum, connected to the 
cell-spot by a narrow sinuate line; thirdly, a costal spot before the apex, connected with the tornus by 
an outwardly convex narrow line of spots on the veins; around the apex and termen is also a line of 
semidetached brown spots; the costa is narrowly tinged with ochreous; cilia pale ochreous. Lvwp. al. 
18mm. Hindwings pale brownish grey ; cilia pale cinereous. -Abdomen brownish grey. Legs whitish

fawn-brown; face paler. Forewings dull fawn-whitish, somewhat sprinkled with fawn-brownish scales, 
variable in the intensity of their colour; at the extreme base of the costa is a blackish spot, and a few 
blackish scales in the fold near its base ; two blackish costal spots, one on the middle, the other half-way 
between this and the apex, and below them, and equidistant from each, is a slightly smaller round spot of 
the same colour at the end of the cell ; two parallel lines of small dark fuscous spots, emanating from the 
upper and lower extremities of the outer costal spot respectively, tend to converge. only at their lower 
extremities on the dorsum before the tornus, the outer series following the margin around the apex and 
termen, the other series slightly preceding it; cilia fawn-whitish. Zap. al.19 mm. Hindwings brownish 
grey ; a pale line, followed by a slight shade, running along the base of the scarcely paler cilia. Abdomen
