c? ? . Antennae of Lotb sexes [leetinate, the dorso-lateral jirocesses not scaled, 

 very long in S (PI. LX. f. 27. 28), about three times as long as the segment in 

 ? ; eacli segment ventrally produced into a lobe which is widened at the end 

 (side-view), the lobes separate, somewhat shoi'ter in ? than in cJ. Foretibia (thorn 

 excluded) little longer than broad, first tarsal segment at least tliree times the 

 lengtli of the tibia (thorn excl.). R- of liindwing in or before centre of cell ; D- 

 curved ; D^ obliipie, about three times as long as D^, which is very sliort ; SC- and 

 !{' stalked or not. 



Body greyisii cream-colour, abdomen somewhat clayish ; face, a middle streak 

 from head to tlie first abdominal tergitc, dilated on the latter, breast and anterior 

 legs more or less burnt umber-brown. 



Wings, ujjjjei'sif/e, greyish cream-coli)ur, with a feeble shade of pink. 



Forewing : a thin, uearly straight, subbasal line a little nearer M- than base, almost 

 at right angles to costa, three short lines between (iSM') and internal margin, 

 jiiined together in front, with the interspaces brownish, forming an inconspicuous 

 jiatch midway between base and internal angle, preceded by a large costal area 

 heavily bordered with btirnt umber, except at costal margin ; this area is sinuate 

 behind, and l)ears nearly in middle a burnt umlier-brown stigma; the ])roximal 

 edge of the patch is the antemedian line, while the inner and outer edges of the 

 distal border are the two discal lines, the three lines at the infernal margin being 

 tlie posterior parts of the antemedian and discal lines ; a postdiscal line about 

 t mm. from margin, curved distad behind, somewhat lunulate : a rather broad i>ale 

 mars-brown marginal band, almost extended to jwstdiscal line, except in front and 

 behind, where the band is bordered by a whitish line, first partition of band deeper 



in colour, halfmoon-shaped. Hindvving : an indistinct median baud touching 



end of cell, somewhat S-shaped, a postdiscal line parallel to margin indistinct ; 

 an indication of a marginal band between 8('- and R'. 



Lhtderside as above, but the subbasal line of the forewing absent, the proximal 

 border-band of the costal area not marked, the stigma absent, the external border 

 of the patch continued beyond JP and less sinuate behind M^, tlie ])ostdiscal line 

 heavier, and the marginal area paler ; the discal band of the hindvving much more 

 distinct, of the same colour as that of the forewing ; postdiscal line distinct. 



3 . Tenth tergite (PI. XXV. f. 21) slightly narrowed distad, obliquely sinuate 

 at each side before end, the tip narrowed (PI. XXV. f. 22, dorsal view) ; sternite 

 triangular, obtuse. C'lasper slender, feebly narrowed towards apex, which is rounded; 

 harpe produced into a slender, slightly curved, pointed, ventro-distal process, whicli 

 bears a transverse tooth before the end (PI. XXX 11. f. 2n). Penis-siieatii with a 

 patch of minute teeth at end, duct armed with a belt of long teetii (PI. XXX. f. 44). 



? . A little darker than c?, wings rather more elongate, outer margin of forewing 

 less convex, very feebly undulate. Vaginal plate small, feebly chitinised, without 

 processes, anterior and lateral edge of orifice somewhat raised (PI. XVIII. f 12).
