4. Wings, delicate, thinly scaled, pale testaceous grey, much 
clouded by darker irrorations which are composed of pale brown- 
ish or blackish scales gathered into short transverse streaks. An- 
terior wings with the external margin rounded, improminently 
exserted at the extremity of the second median nervule. A trans- 
verse anterior line, outwardly arcuate and slightly projected supe- 
riorly, preceded by an obsolete pale shade which is nothing but 
the ground color of the wing partially free from irrorations. A 
linear transverse discal mark. <A transverse posterior line, round- 
edly and slightly outwardly projected at about first median nervule, 
and succeeded by a narrow pale coincident shade, analogous to that 
preceding the transverse anterior line. Sub-terminally, the wing 
is irregularly and partially free from irrorations; thus a pale trans- 
verse shade is formed, most prominent over second and third m. ner- 
vules. The transverse lines are pale blackish or brownish, and but 
little darker than the irrorations. Where the lines cross the 
“veins,” these are longitudinally marked with darker scales. 
Secondaries, resembling primaries; a median dark line, corre- 
sponding to the transverse posterior line of the primaries and fol- 
lowed by a similar narrow pale coincident shade. Sub-terminally, 
as on the primaries, the wing is very partially and irregularly 
deprived of irrorations. External margin, rounded, with no per- 
ceptible angulation. Faint traces of a discal mark; this, like that 
on the primaries, is merely composed of an aggregation of the 
irrorations with which the wings are clouded. The short fringes 
are silky and concolorous with the wings. Under surface, clear 
greyish testaceous, without irrorations except obsoletely on costa 
and diffusely along external margins. There are no markings, the 
delicacy of the wings causing the marblings and lines of the upper 
surface to be faintly reflected. 
Head, ochreous ; antennae, finely plumose, antennal stalk, above, 
clothed partly with ochreous scales. Prothorax, ochreous ; thorax,
