Thorax dirty whitish. 



Fore wings greyish fuscous, obliquely barred with interrupted 

 creamy-white bauds along the dorsal half of the wing ; a round 

 black apical spot enclosed -in a pale ferruginous apical space, which 

 is narrowly black-margined, its anterior margin straight, its poste- 

 rior margin following the base of the cilia around the apex and 

 apical margin to the anal angle ; the creamy-white bands and mark- 

 ings are distributed as follows : — near the base a small square dorsal 

 spot ; beyond it before the middle a larger spot tending obliquely 

 outwards towards a small subcostal spot before the middle, between 

 which and the base is a second smaller subcostal spot ; a narrow 

 line from before the middle runs along the dorsal margin, and is 

 dilated beyond the middle into a large trapezoidal dorsal patch, 

 which reaches to the inner margin of the pale ferruginous apical 

 space, and diverted to the costa by a narrow line internally and 

 externally dark-margined, its external margin being the blackish 

 inner margin of the ferruginous space already mentioned ; before 

 this narrow line are three short longitudinal streaks, the middle one 

 almost or quite communicating with a short oblique subcostal streak 

 beyond the middle, near the costal end of which another oblique 

 separate streak arises, which tends backward towards the dorsal
