S ? . End-segmeut of antenna about as long as the five preceding segments 

 together. Abdomen with three cadmium-yellow side-patches, separated from each 

 other, the first smallest, transverse, fifth segment with a lateral, sixth with a 

 dorso-lateral, and seventh with a mesial j)atch of a dark brown or black colour ; 

 tij)s of side-tufts white ; breast aud legs russet-wood-brown, middle of prosternum 

 more grey ; palpus white, with some brown scales ; abdomen beneath clayish 

 cinnaraou-rufous, basal sternite aud a large indistinct mesial apical patch on 

 each of the two following ones of the colour of the breast. 



Wings, ahoce. Forewing : two autemedian lines, slightly converging in 



front, interspace filled up, but the band not prominent; first and second discal 

 line evenly cnrved costad in front, the second line heavier than the first, interspace 

 partly filled u]i with dark scaling, especially iu front, the lines straight behind, 

 or incurved ; dark subapical patches not prominent, grey costal space at its 



proximal side sharply limited at R'. Hindwing with cadmium-yellow median 



band, base and distal border blackish brown, the border somewhat shaded ofl' along 

 the yellow band, being here less deep in tint.
