 depressed about the middle, apex somewhat rounded, termen 

 very oblique ; ochreous, mottled with brick-red and streaked with 

 steel-blue, with three black dots along the termen ; cilia steel-grey. 

 (It is difficult to describe the exact distribution of the colours, the 

 brick-red occurring between the ochreous spaces, also between 

 some steel-blue lines that mark the course of the apical nervules 

 and along the terminal margin separating the three black dots 

 from the cilia ; the steel-blue is especially noticeable about the 

 costal portion of the wing, where it runs in slender lines through 

 the brick-red and ochreous spaces.) Exp. al. 9 mm. Hind wings 

 and cilia pale grey. Abdomen subochreous. Legs whitish.
