 reddish spot on eosta at one-fourtli and a black dot on the median vein indicate the 

 hrst line ; a small reddish cloud at middle of costa ; a straight deep chestnut line

 costal blotch. Head, thorax, and abdomen somewhat paler than the wings; tips of 

 [lalpi and frontal tuft blackish. Antennae of S with the uniserrate pectinations long. 



Kxpanse of wings : 52 mm. 



One (? from Amboina, February 1892 (\V. Doherty).

 duced, subacute ; hindmargin sinuous.

Face smooth; palpi porrect, squamous, the third joint indistinct; antennae of 

 S strongly bipectinate to five-sixtljs ; hind tibiae with four spurs. 



Neuration : forewings with cell half as long as wing; first median at five-sixths, 

 second before end of cell, third from end; lower radial from middle of discocelliilar ;
