faint grey baud at the hind margin. Winglets in the male 

 large and conspicuous. 



Antenini- of the male simple, thick, ciliated, grey -black, 

 with faint white bars at the back ; palpi very small, black- 

 biown ; face dark grey edged above with white ; to]i of the 

 head grey mixed with white : necl<-ridge brown-l)iack ; 

 thorax white, dusted and clouded with grey-black; a small 

 but broad and flattened tuft at the back is tinged with red- 

 brown : abdomen short, white dusted with black; on the 

 dorsal ridye is a black tuft at the Imck of each segment ; 

 lateral and anal tufts small. Fore wings blunt; costa very 

 gently arched : apex bluntly rounded ; hind margin long, 

 regularly curved ; dorsal margin short and nearly straight ; 

 ground colour white ; basal line a curved grey double line or 

 else stripe ; first line also double, dark grey with the interval 

 filled with similar clouding, so as to form a rather broad 

 stripe ; following it is a rivulet-like stripe of the ground 

 colour, and then a l)road central stri|ie commences, blackish- 

 grey, from the costa, but becomes more faint before reaching 

 the middle and continues indistinctly to the dorsal margin 

 where it widens a little : in this is placed a small black 

 discal spot; the outer edge of this band is the second line, 

 and this again is followed by a white rivulet stripe, beyond 

 which the whole hind marginal space is broadly banded with 

 grey ; through this grey baud runs the excessively rippled 

 subtermiual white line ; tiie other white portions of the wing, 

 which, indeed, are merely stripes, are in each case often 

 intersected bv faint ijrev lines ; extreme hind margin irreiru- 

 larly edged with black streaks; cilia pale grey, spotted with 

 black and white. Hind wings rather small, rounded behind, 

 except that the anal augle is a little squared ; shining pah- 

 grey ; cilia white, broadly intersected by a grey line ; the 

 lobes or winglets conspicuous, one-half the length of the 

 hind wings, glossy greyish-white with long white cilia. 

 Female very siniilav. hardly stouter, the hind wings rather 

 more ample, but without the winglets.
