small narrow clay-coloured line rises near the posterior edges close to the shoulders, and extends in a 

 circular manner to the anterior edges : the lower corners of these wings are remarkably prominent. 

 Posterior wings deep yellow, deeply bordered from the upper to the abdominal corners, with black. 



Under Side. Palpi orange, remarkably long. Tongue spiral. Legs, breast and abdomen clay- 

 coloured. Anterior wings dark-brown as on the upper side, the anterior edges yellow. Posterior wings 

 paler yellow than on the upper side, and the black border not so distinct. Margins of the wings entire. 



This insect is evidently the type of a distinct genus from any hitherto described, 

 especially distinguished by the lively colours of the wings, the produced posterior angle of 

 the anterior pair, and the form of the palpi.
