Head: — Caps above eyes, the long scales of which meet at upper side of head, 

 very pale brown, flecked and spotted with darker brown, the same color on outer 

 and under sides of palpi. Face and outer sides of palpi whitish yellow or cream 

 color. Eyes large, round and black. Antennte annulated with cream color and 

 brown. 



Thorax: — Front half and shoulders of patagia, dark brown, merging into 

 cream color, overlaid with brown scales in middle of thorax and ends of patagia. 



A tuft of long raised scales on posterior end of thorax dark brown, almost 

 black and mixed with a few cream-color scales. 



Forewing: — Whitish grey, replaced by pale lilaceous grey between fold and 

 dorsuu), below costa between half and outer fourth and a small subapical patch. 

 One narrow baud at inner fourth and a broader band at middle, of pale olivace- 

 ous-brown, interrupted by patches of black scales. A small triangular spot at 

 apex, a large one before apex, two between the latter and the middle fascia, and 

 three on costa between apical spot and fascia, of this same color. 



Base: — Whitish grey, mixed with pale fuscous and lilaceous scales, with a few 

 black scales on costa just at junction with thorax, and a few more forming a V- 

 shaped mark on median line, with point of V touching thorax. Just beyond 

 base begins a line or narrow band, black on costa to median vein, thence swell- 

 ing out in a wide semi-circle to dorsum, black scales replaced at median by light 

 brown, the same color where it touches dorsum. Between basal line and inner 

 fascia whitish grey, with tips of scales darker or light fuscous, below median two 

 small patches of lilaceous scales, each with a few black scales outwardly, and a
