This differs from ewthia Wlsm. in its larger size and darker colouring ; in the median 
streak taking the line of the cell, instead of that of the fold, and in being faintly 
continued to the apex.

brassy, the face becoming whitish towards the palpi. Zhoraw bronzy cupreous; silvery white beneath. 
Forewings shining, pale brassy greenish, becoming more coppery towards the costa and at the apex; 
a white streak coming from the base below the costa terminates in the fold at about one-fourth, a white 
patzh lying a little beyond it and reaching the costa before the middle, a similar white patch, bent 
inward from the costa before the apex and reverting to the dorsum at the end of the fold; cilia hoary 
at the apex, dark purplish grey on the dorsum. Ewxp.al.12 mm. Hindwings dark reddish fuscous ; 
cilia dark purplish grey. Abdomen shining, dark bronzy fuscous ; silvery white beneath. Legs white,
