posterior legs ochreous-whitish, tarsi dark grey towards base of 

 joints. Forewings in male rather short, moderately broad, in 

 female more elongate and narrower, costa rather strongly arched 

 towards base, apex round-pointed, hindmargin nearly straight, in 

 male moderately, in female rather strongly oblique ; whitish, 

 irregularly mixed with light grey, and in male with whitish- 

 yellowish, in female pale ferruginous-yellow scales, which tend 

 to accumulate on margins of dark markings ; outer edge of basal 

 patch generally sharply defined by a blackish-fuscous line from 

 one-fourth of costa to one-third of inner margin, angulated out- 

 wards in middle, dilating gradually from middle to inner margin 

 so as to form an erect wedgeshaped mark ; between this line and 

 base are some scattered blackish-fuscous scales ; a slender 

 indistinct grey transverse striga a little beyond and parallel to 

 outer edge of basal patch ; central fascia moderate, blackish- 

 fuscous, darkest on edges, starting from middle of costa obliquely 

 outwards, bent sharply back in middle of disc, ending abruptly 

 on fold, not reaching inner margin, tooth of angulation ill-defined 

 and sometimes posteriorly obsolete ; beneath extremity of central 

 fascia are two small dark fuscous spots on inner margin ; beyond 

 upper half of central fascia a slender dark fuscous parallel striga, 

 terminating in the angulation ; an irregular quadrilateral blackish- 

 fuscous spot on costa at three-fourths, suffused beneath, anterior 

 angle darkest ; an elongate-triangular dark grey spot on anal angle, 

 rather outwardly oblique, suffused towards apex, incompletely 

 connected with costal spot by two indistinct strigse ; two oblique 

 grey striga3 from costa just before apex to hindmargin below apex ; 

 an elongate cloudy blackish-grey mark along middle of hind- 

 margin ; cilia on costa and anal angle ochreous-whitish, on hind- 

 margin dark grey, mixed with whitish, and with a blackish-grey 

 line. Hindwings fuscous grey, speckled with darker ; cilia grey, 

 with a dark grey basal line. 



Superficially very different from Pros, annosana, Meyr., and 

 much more nearly resembling the species of Isochorista or Capua ;
