hardly divided, greyish-white mixed with slate-grey, a small 

 tuft at the base of each antenna ; thorax squared, smooth 

 and rather flattened, slate-grey, a black line edged with white 

 borders the back of the collar, top crest short and small, 

 tipped with white, back crest flat and obscure; fascicles 

 white; abdomen rather flattened, pale yellowish-br )wn, 

 lateral and anal tufts broad, whitish-brown. Fore wings 

 rather narrow but regularly increasing a little in breadth to 

 the hind margin ; costa very faintly arched, hind margin 

 rounded, but suddenly very oblique towards the anal angle, 

 hardly crenulated ; dorsal margin straight; colour shining 

 pale slate-grey, the whole broken up into rounded clouds by 

 blackish or brownish shades and edgings ; from the middle of 

 the base is a deep black streak which at a short distance 

 curves up and throws off black clouds ; just beyond it the 

 first line, in broken black streaks and angled fragments, 

 placed obliquely and edged with white, throws back black 

 and white dots along the principal nervures ; from its angle 

 below the median nervure arises a straight deep black line 

 to the second line — or rather where the second line should 

 be — and is there interrupted by a white streak, beyond which 

 it is continued by a more slender black streak edged below 

 with white, to the anal angle ; above, a portion of the second 

 line is indicated by the faintest possible pale line edged with 

 grey dots; subterminal line deep black, much indented, 

 thickened in the middle and there throwing inward one or 

 two black wedges, also clouded outwardly, but inwardly edged 

 with whitish-grey ; orbicular stigma obscure, open at the 

 upper side, edged otherwise with black; reniform stigma 

 also obscure, broad, tinged with red-brown, and edged with a 

 fine black line, so as to fall into the general arrangement of 

 dark-edged clouds ; at its base is a curved black streak 

 uniting with an oblique straight black central shade from 

 between the stigmata ; on the costa are four black dots, and 

 beyond them two or three faint white dots in a smoky 

 clouding ; along the extreme hind margin is a series of black
