forms three series of moderate irregular subconfluent spots, first 

 about ^, strongly curved, second about middle, nearly obsolete on 

 lower half, third about |, slightly curved ; an ill-defined dark

 near hindmargin ; a conspicuous subtriangular blackish-fuscous 

 spot above inner margin at J ; a smaller transverse-oval ochreous- 

 white spot near beyond this : cilia yellow-ochreous, tips paler, 

 sharply barred with dark fuscous. Hindwings rather dark

Antennae J, gradually swollen towards apex so as to appear 

 subclavate, simple, basal joint with a tuft of hairs projecting over

 posterior tibiae in ^ with a very large broad curved tuft of very

 Forewings with vein 7 from angle, 8 from near before angle, 9 

 and 10 stalked, Hindwings as in forewings. 



A curious form, diff'ering from all others in the antennae.
