" S Front white ; antennae, slightly bipectinate, shaft white, pectinations 

 brown ; thorax gray, sprinkled with black, patagia and metathoracic tuft reddish 

 brown; abdomen smoky gray with small black lateral tufts on 3rd segment and 

 prominent reddish-brown anal tuft ; primaries light ochreous-brown, shaded with 

 fuscous beyond cell, and with a broad creamy costal margin ; on costa at base

 situated at a point just below median vein, costal angle sharp, lower angle rather 

 blunt and preceded by slight reddish scaling; a row of brown spots along costa 

 of which those situated near apex are largest ; a smoky brown patch in cell 

 and a somewhat larger one situated between the base of 2nd cubital and the 2nd 

 anal vein; on inner margin directly below this patch a minute circular patch of 

 similar color, portion between this and base of wing containing several fine 

 transverse striations ; beyond these two patches a distinct whitish shade ex- 

 tending nearly to anal angle ; an oblong reddish bar at end of cell, defined slight- 

 ly by lighter ; subterminal space from costa to vein Cui with a series of large

 arated by the white terminal patch, the larger size of the patch below 

 cubitus, and the much darker color of secondaries.

"Size small. Primaries greyish-brown, mottled with darker shades, the mar- 

 gins being broadly pale, and of a purer grey tint. Reaching from the base to 

 the cell on the costal half of the wing is a conspicuous whitish shade, the whole
