Foremings : pale sandy ochreous, sprinkled with dark atoms ; the four lines indis- 

 tinctly indicated, dull rust -colour, irregularly dentate; the first at one-third, vertical; 

 the second central, touching the cell-spot ; the third at three-fourths, approaching 

 the second on the inner margin ; the subterminal. very indistinct, forms a small reddish

 pale ochreous, with a small black dot at the base at the extremity of each vein. 



Hindwings : with only the central and exterior lines visible, the blotch opposite 

 the cell being hardly discernible; fringe as in forewings.

 which it disappears ; submarginal line, as in Sp. Irilineata, forming a sinus outward 

 in the middle, but represented only by dark vein-dots, connected by a thread-like 

 line; a dark cell-spot.
