quarter across the wings, and the female three inches, or 

 sometimes more. 



In the male the fore-wings are rusty red, inclining to grey, 

 with two black transverse bands, the anterior bordered on its 

 inner side with white, and the posterior, which is angulatcd 

 towards the inner margin, bordered with the same colour 

 externally. The space between these bands is irregularly 

 marked with white, and at the end of the discoidal cell is a

inwards. Near the hind margin runs an irregular row of white 

 spots, the three upper ones being largest, and nearly sub- 

 hyaline; and each nervure is marked with a while streak, 

 which is slightly expanded at the margin. The hind-wings are 

 tawny yellow, with a waved dusky line in the middle, and a 

 small crescent and a few white spots posteriorly. The body 

 and base of the wings are clothed with close long yellowish 

 brown hair, the anterior part of the thorax being white. The 

 antennae and tarsi are black. The female, which is figured in 

 the plate, is similarly marked, but is lighter in colour, with the 

 hind-wings and abdomen almost entirely dull white. 



The larva is attenuated in front, and has a pyramidal 

 elevation on the penultimate segment in place of a hump.
