 the hindwing is a fascicle of long black-tipt hairs, arising from a depression near base 

 of the cell. Antennas brown, shaft purple-brown and white speckled ; palpi purplish- 

 brown and white speckled; forelegs purpUsh-brown, with the base of each joint 

 white speckled. 



Female. Ochreous-yellow, sparsely speckled with minute ochreous-brown
