The specimen, in my own collection and which is here figured, being somewhat faded in 

 markings and coloration, I have thought it best to reproduce Walker's description.

 above the eyelets and with two tawny marks on each side ; face very convex ; mouth tawny with a black 

 tip, reaching a little beyond the hind-hips: eyes rather prominent: feelers tawny: scutcheon of the fore- 

 chest adorned with two black stripes, which are widened into triangles in front and behind ; fore border 

 partly blackish ; sides ferruginous with pitchy borders ; hind-scutcheon rather narrow in the middle, much 

 widened at the base of each fore-wing, much excavated on each side : scutcheon of the middle-chest 

 adorned with four ferruginous stripes ; a large tawny spot on each of the inner pair, which are succeeded 

 by two ferruginous spots ; outer pair much longer than the inner pair, much excavated, their tips widened

 on each side of which is a short curved fascia, followed by a series of three irregular spots, and a small
