Ground colour an even, smooth, bluish-gray, washed with smoky 

 brown. Head with a little admixture of brownish in front. Collar with 

 a small central brown spot. I'atagiae margined with brown. Basal tuft 

 of thorax with an admixture of black scales. Primaries with all the 

 ordinary markings obscured, the most evident feature being a broad light 

 gray band at inner third, outwardly margined by a brownish shade, which 

 is the darkest part of the wing. The basal space is uniformly smoky gray 

 to the t, a. line, which is narrow, geminate, even, a little incurred between 

 the subcostal and submedian veins. The included space is light gray, 

 and the light gray shade extends to the rigid median shade, including the 

 orbicular. T. p. line narrow, geminate, denticulate, widely bent over the 

 cell, then with a deep incurve beneath, narrowing the median shade at 

 the inner margin. The entire median space beyond the gray band has a 

 warm brown tint in which the large reniform is obscurely visible as a dull, 

 lead-coloured blotch, outlined by paler gray scales. Beyond the t. p. line 

 the wing is of the same dull gray as at base, interrupted by the diffuse, 

 somewhat irregular s. t. line. There is a dusky line at the base of the

 the base of the fringes. Beneath, primaries smoky blackish, powdered
