some lights ; cilia brown. Forewing crossed by a broad subapical somewhat excurved 
pale violet band, which extends decreasingly to above the posterior angle, the area 
of the band being traversed by three small superposed discal whitish spots, situated 
respectively between the upper and lower radials and the middle median; posterior 
margin with a medial dusty-brown curved bar, outwardly edged with pale ochreous- 
brown, which is formed by the folding beneath of the middle of the lobular margin. 
Hindwing with the anterior margin broadly pale ochreous-brown, and with a 
prominent black sagittate glandular patch on the submedian vein near its anal end, the 
patch being clothed with black elongated scales of nearly equal width throughout, 
their apex being very obtusely bidentate, and their base also bidentate ; some few of 
these scales are much narrower, but of the same form. Underside dull pale-ochreous, 
numerously covered with obscure ochreous-brown transverse strigee, which are 
slender and more sparsely disposed on the basal half, but are more confluent on the 
exterior half, and there form two broad ill-defined fasci#, between which is a very 
indistinctly more or less ill-defined series of ordinary-disposed submarginal small 
black-speckled spots, the veins are also slightly black speckled. Body beneath, 
palpi, and legs pale ochreous; antennz brown with a pale ochreous tip.
