elongate, costa moderately arched, apex rounded, termen obliquely rounded ; 

 pale orange ; some irregular leaden-coloured markings within basal patch ; 

 first fascia narrow, outwardly oblique, bifid from middle to dorsum, white ; 

 median fascia narrow, outwardly oblique, irregular, costal portion white 

 and the lower half breaking up into a network of leaden-coloured fasciae ; a 

 narrow fascia from § costa, bifid from middle, anterior limb to £ dorsum and 

 posterior limb to tornus, white, leaden-coloured beneath costa and on anterior 

 limb ; a white dot, margined beneath with leaden colour, on costa between 

 this fascia and the preceding one ; a narrow white subterminal striga, touch-

 shorter antennal ciliations, and from Cremnogenes monodonta Meyr. by the 

 character of the markings at dorsum.
