Labial palpi reddish brown with darker tips. Face, head, and thorax 

 reddish brown; antennae light brown, faintly annulated with black. Fore 

 wings light reddish brown with numerous scattered black scales tending 

 to arrange themselves as a transverse striation. A large oblique dark- 

 brown transverse fascia from about the middle of costa to tornus is nar- 

 rowest at the costal end and gradually broadens with bulging edges towards 

 the dorsal side. Across the tip of the wing from apical fourth of costa 

 to the middle of termen is another dark brown fascia, which is broadest 

 on the costal edge. Hind wings light ochreous white. Abdomen ochreous 

 fuscous. Legs ochreous; anterior tarsi heavily annulated with black.

 yellow with white posterior tip and four black lateral dots. Fore wings 

 with the rich reddish golden yellow ground color apparent only in the 

 transverse fascia between the large silvery white spots, which occupy the 

 greater part of the wing surface; extreme base of the wing red; then 

 follows a large transverse silvery white fascia edged with dark metallic 

 blue and with a serpentine metallic blue transverse line through the middle; 

 next comes a reddish-yellow fascia at basal third, which is followed by 

 another large silvery white transverse fascia, like the foregoing, edged 

 with metallic blue and with a blue central line; following this is again a 

 reddish-golden fascia, somewhat bent in the middle, and this is followed 

 by a large dorsal silvery-white spot and by an adjoining small costal
