of chestnut brown hairs rising from either side of the metathoracic segment ; abdomen 

 black on the upperside, on the underside the segments are naiTowly margined with 

 white; the legs are black, margined inwardly with white; the tarsi ringed with 

 white. The forewings on the upperside are black, with the region of the outer 

 angle broadly marked with chestnut brown ; there is also a broad and indistinct 

 median and subapical oblique transverse shade of dark purplish grey visible on the 

 wings ; the fringe, just at the apex of the primaries is white. The hindwings on the 

 upperside are jet black, the fringe at the outer angle being for a short distance pure 

 white. On the underside the primaries are a dark purplish brown, with three 

 equidistant patches of white raised scales along the costa. The secondaries are black, 

 with the inner margin as far as the cell bluish green; a small spot of the same 

 colour is situated near the base on the costa, and an irregular figure resembling the 

 figure 6 placed on its side («o) is located on the upper middle of the wing, extending 

 from the costa to the cell. The female is like the male. 

 Expanse : 38—42 mm.

cj. Antennae almost simple. Forewing with the outer margin slightly angled ; 

 cilia crenulate. Tibiae almost naked ; palpi whitish ; head, collar, and upperside of 

 thorax and abdomen purplish brown. Lower side of abdomen grey. Legs grey. On 

 the upperside the forewing is purplish brown, with a small oval spot at the end of the 

 cell, narrowly margined with pale grey. A number of indistinct transverse bands 

 of dark brown traverse the wing, those on the limbal and apical areas being most 

 conspicuous and being composed in part of raised scales. The hindwings are uniformly 

 fuscous, slightly paler at the base. On the underside both wings are pale fuscous; 

 both are crossed by curved geminated limbal lines ; the secondaries have in addition 

 an angulated median dark transverse line beyond the end of the cell, and a black spot 

 in the cell at its extremity.

?. Eront, collar, patagia, and the ui)perside of the thorax pale chestnut; upper- 

 side of the abdomen fuscous; lowerside of the abdomen pale yellowish grey. 

 Primaries on the upperside are pale chestnut brown, crossed from the middle of the 

 costa toward the inner angle with a darker brown shade, becoming deep black 

 between veins 1 and 2. There is a subniarginal band of small black spots extending 

 parallel to the outer margin from the costa to the inner angle. Of these spots the 

 one situated between veins 4 and 5 is quite large, and extends inwardly toward 

 the base. Fringes concolorous. The secondaries on the upperside are fuliginous, the 

 fringes pale grey. On the underside lioth wings are uniformly pale lirown
