This species differs from any other described Indian species of 

 Nonagria in that the antennae of the male are fasciculate combined with 

 veins 3 and 4 of the hindwing being from the cell. The collection of 

 dark scales forming specks on the forewing are placed similarly to those 

 found in Nonagria infer ens, Wlk. 



Described from four specimens sent me by Mr. Maxwell -Lefroy and 

 received by him from Mr. Mackenzie, and from others collected by the 

 former gentleman in the Bombay Presidency. There are several 

 examples also in the Indian Museum collection.
