Wings, appersuh. Forewing whitish grey like thorax ; an indistinct costal 



spot at basal tliird, another in front of upper angle of cell, two very thin discal 

 streaks R' — M-, an oblique thin line from tij) of SC^ towards disc, and the fringe- 

 dots at the end of tlie veins brownish black, a trace of a discal band beginning at 

 costal margin before fork, convex down to M', then straight, another band parallel 

 with this and proximal of it, beginning at the costal spot, interrupted between li' 



and M'. Hindwing unicolorons, very tliin brown fringe-spots at the ends of 



the veins. 



Underside grey, no markings excepting a short apical obliij^ue line ou forewing 

 and the small fringe dots.
