Forewings : olive-grey, with a flesh-c(il(inred tiut ; liues double, velvety black, 

 with paler centres, all interrnpted ; a dark blotch at base of costa ; a double basal 

 line acutely angled on the subcostal vein, ending at the median, whence a faint 

 single line can be traced towards base of iuner margin ; edge of basal patch indicated 

 by a much broader double line also angled on the subcostal, marked on median and 

 submediaii veins, interrupted in cell and submedian fold : inner edge of central fascia 

 marked by a brown triangle on costa, a blotch on the median, and a small spot on 

 the submedian : the pale space between basal patch and fascia marked by dots on 

 the veins, indicating a traversing line ; cell-spot black, close to the costal triangle ; 

 outer edge of fascia marked by an oblique costal blotch, preceded by a short zigzag 

 line ; submarginal line marked by a double costal blotch, a smaller one beyond cell, 

 and a serpentine streak above anal angle, all these with ferruginous centre; 

 intervening space marked by a sinuous row of dots on veins ; a row of black 

 marginal Innules : fringe olive-grey. 



Hindwings : with two dark lines at base ; a blade cell-spot ; two faint grey

 line, the latter interrupted between veins 3 and 4, and only distinct below, where it 

 is tinged with ferruginous ; margin and fringe as in forewings.

? . Foreicings : greyish oehreous, almost wholly suffused with dull brick-red ; 

 basal area small, brick-red, edged with a brown wavy line oblique inwards, followed 

 by a broad paler band, ochreons and red, containing three irregularly dentate brick- 

 red lines ; central fascia very broad, brick-red ; its inner edge waved like the liues 

 of the preceding band, the outer at live-sixths, slightly indented opposite cell, and 

 more strongly on the submedian fold, with a slight blunt prominence between, con- 

 taining seven dentate darker red lines, three towards the base and four externally, 

 the inner pair sometimes connected on the median vein ; cell-spot black, of slightly 

 raised scales ; the fascia is finely edged with white, followed by a red line and then 

 by two dentate dark lines, on a pale whitish or yellowish ground, before the paler 

 dentate submarginal line ; marginal space darker, interrupted by a pale oblique 

 apical streak ; marginal line formed of pairs of black dots ; fringe reddish. 



Hindwings : dull grey, with four sinuous darker antemedian and four post- 

 median similar lines, the space between the lines slightly paler. 



Underside of forewing grey, thickly speckled with red above the median ; 

 whitish grey, hardly speckled, below it ; cell-spot distinct ; outer line dark, followed 

 by a pale line, both indistinct below the middle : hindwings white, densely speckled 

 with black and slightly with red : cell-spot distinct ; onter line marked. Face j)ale
