black clouds ; upper stigmata both large, pale, the reniform 

 proiecting a yellow dash from its centre ; hind wings dusky

 small, whitish-brown, darker at the sides, apical joint rather 

 prominent and tipped with brown ; head and thorax yellowish- 

 brown ; the collar faintly barred and edged — and the shoulder- 

 lappets edged — with darker brown ; crests extremely short 

 and obscure ; fascicles dirty-white ; abdomen whitish-brown, 

 the basal segments abundantly covered with long white scales, 

 among which are two or three very small dorsal crests tipped 

 with dark brown ; lateral tufts small and obscure ; anal tuft 

 narrow, dusky-yellow. Fore wings rather narrow ; costa 

 hardly curved except toward the apex, which is bluntly

 short, faintly crenulated and having a small hollow just above 

 the anal angle; dorsal margin straight; colouryellowish-brown, 

 marbled with brighter and darker browns ; basal line faintly 

 indicated in broken brown streaks, first line very obscure and 

 not readily perceptible, but consisting of long brown angles 

 between the larger nervures ; second line more noticeable, 

 not very oblique, brown, edged outwardly with pale drab ; 

 subterminal line only perceptible as a meandering series of 

 pale curves forming in the middle a short broad W, some- 

 times bordered inwardly with faint reddish clouds, and 

 usually outside by an indented darker brown hind-marginal 

 stripe ; orbicular stigma oblique, large, rather ovate, pale 

 drab ; reniform stigma large and erect, yellow-brown, clouded 

 in its lower portion with dark brown and leaden-grey, and 

 emitting from its centre a horizontal yellow-brown dash ;

 space between them red-brown ; claviform stigma broad, 

 obscurely reddish-brown ; nervures dusted with black ; be- 

 tween the second and subterminal lines is frequently a broad 

 unmarbled band of the pale ground colour, or else some patches
