Anterior wings pale testaceous, irrorated with black and white 
atoms—an indistinct interrupted pale striga before the middle— 
then a second arcuated striga composed of black lunules, edged 
externally with whitish; the first striga terminates in a rather con- 
spicuous black dot on the inner mar gin of the wing, the ordinary 
stigmata are placed between these strige, the reniform one being 
distinctly edged with white. Between the black dots on the 
inner margin. of the wing and the thorax is a slender black line. 
Hinder margin pale testaceous, with an indistinct undulating 
pale line, commencing at a pale patch on the costa near the 
apex. A distinct row of black marginal lunules, cilia spotted 
with deep and pale fuscous. On the costa near the apex are two 
oblique white spots. Posterior wings pure white in both sexes, 
with black marginal lunules. Antenne of the male rather 
strongly ciliated.”
