Bod}' the colour of raw sifiuiii, thorax with l>hickii?h mesial line, sides of 

 abdomen rosy. Legs and a spot beneath the base cif the forewing blackish, hindleo-s 

 shaded with rosy. 



Wings, iipperside : forewing raw sienna, a large patch beyond apex of cell and 

 a small one at apex of wing ochreons ; fonr blackish-brown linos as follows: two 

 parallel, 2i mm. apart, from costal margin obliquely to inner margin, curved, the 

 proximal one being anteriorly 4 mm. and posteriorly 9 mm. from base, the point 

 of origin of M" in between these lines, a second pair on disc, also parallel, but 

 approaching each other at hiudmargin, cnrved in S-shape, parallel with outer 

 margin in centre : outside these discal lines some indistinct brown dots ; a thia 

 discocellnlar bar and a short subapical curved bar bordering the yellow apical spot 

 also brown ; apex pointed but not much produced, the onter margin slightly 

 incurved below apex and then evenly rounded, the inner angle very obtnso ; costal 

 and hindmargins brownish ; numerous brown speckles all over the wing. Hind- 

 wing rosy red, shading off into raw-sienna colour towards outer and abdominal 

 margins, two indistinct brown discal lines curved in S-shape, and numerous brown 

 specks in the outer half and before the abdominal edge. 



Underside ochfeous, forewing from base to apex of cell and to inner angle rosy 

 red, as is also a patch before abdominal edge of hiudwing extending from base 

 towards anal angle ; on disc of both wings two thin and ill-defined reddish-brown 

 lines ; the yellow parts of both wings irrorated with reddish brown. Subcostal and 

 first radial of hindwing on a very short stalk, second radial from centre, lower angle 

 of cell pointed, but not much produced, distance from lower angle to lower median 

 somewhat shorter than to upper angle. 



Tenth tergite {S) lanceolate in a dorsal view, with sharply pointed apex, tlie 

 latter compressed, hence rather obtuse in a lateral aspect and slightly curved 

 downwards. Tenth sternite triangular, shorter than broad, with the apex rounded 

 off. Clasper short, without friction-scales, dorsal and apical margins strongly 

 rounded, ventral margin incurved, harpe weak, proximally rngate, the distal part 

 narrow, with nearly parallel sides, the apex slightly bent down, proximal jiart 

 produced into a short, broad, rounded ventral lobe. Apical margin of penis-sheath 

 produced into a broad lobe, which is strongly narrowed apically into a sharp point. 



Length of forewing : 31 mm.
