Forewings with ajiex produced and blunt ; hindmargin not excised, but

 of costa to just before middle of inner margin, its costal end thickened ; an oblique 

 ochraceous discal streak touching the middle line ; exterior line from three-fourths 

 of costa to three-fourths of inner margin, angled on vein 6, then slightly flexuoas; 

 traces of a sinuous submarginal line almost touching outer line below middle, 

 thence oblique to anal angle, followed by a dark spot below vein 4 and another less 

 conspicuous below vein 3; fringe pale, with a marginal row of small brown dots 

 at base. 



Ilindwings : with nearly straight autemedian and slightly curved and waved

 between the veins, and marked on them with dark spots, those on veins 3 and 4 

 distinct; cell-mark linear, lirown, touching middle line; marginal area darker, 

 especially the jiart next the onter line, which forms a brown shade; fringe grey,
