 oblique below ; toothed at veins and 4, crenulate between ; inner margin convex. 



Ilindwing : ample ; with a tooth at vein 4, the margin above it crenulate, 

 to anal angle almost convex. 



Antennae bipectinate ; frenulum present ; hindlegs with four spurs. 



Nenration : forewing, cell more than half as long as wing ; discocellular 

 inangnlated ; vein 2 at five-eighths, 3 at seven-eighths ; radials normal ; 7, 8 stalked 

 from the bend in subcostal; 0, 10, 11 coincident just before them, anastomosing 

 with 12, 9 subseij^nently anastomosing with 8, forming a long narrow areole ; 

 hindwing, costal and subcostal approximated for nearly half of cell ; 7 from end 

 of cell ; discocellular strongly inangnlated ; no radial ; medians as in forewing.

 Fwrewing : pale lilac, dappled with darker, and with sparse black scales ; costal

 five-sixths of costa to two-tliirds of inner margin, curved outwards below costa 

 and again below middle, bluntly angled on the submedian fold and widening 

 downwards ; both lines are marked with white dashes on the veins ; at the 

 costa the first is edged outwardly and the exterior inwardly with red ; a reddish 

 crenulated median line from costa beyond middle is curved round the dark cell-spot 

 and then runs slightly oblique to inner margin, nearly touching the outer line ; the 

 outer line is followed by a band of undusted pale ground colour, and this by a 

 dentate and sinuous red line, darker marked on costa before apex ; apex pale 

 green ; marginal area broad, filled with transverse reddish black-speckled ripples ;
