extending more than the length of the head beyond it ; tawny reddish, the 
apex of the terminal joint slightly fuscous. Head and Thorax tawny reddish, 
the latter’ slightly tufted posteriorly. /ore--wings tawny reddish, with closely 
packed transverse wavy lines of sericeous mottling arising from the costa 
and traversing the whole width of the wing, leaving a faint indication of two 
tawny reddish spots at the outer angles of the cell ; the extreme base only 
appears to be free from these sericeous wave-lines, and the extreme edge of 
the costa is very narrowly touched with ochreous [what remains of the cilia 
is tawny reddish] ; the underside is tinged with ochreous throughout, and 
shows a faint indication of greyish fuscous mottling, especially around the 
costa and termen. Jap. al. 22 mm. Hind-wings brownish fuscous, cilia 
slightly paler ; underside with a faint indication of greyish fuscous mottling 
especially around the costa and termen. dédomen brownish fuscous. Legs

Antenne. cinereous, shaded with brown (or testaceous). Palpi porrect,

brown (or testaceous). Thorax fawn-brown (or testaceous). Fore-wings fawn- 
brown (or brownish testaceous), with a faint indication of a darker reddish 
(or testaceous) oblique fascia from before the middle of the costa, and an 
ante-apical costal patch {in the darker of the two specimens (13373) there 
is a slight outline of a basal patch—in the ¢ these markings may be 
expected to assume a more pronounced appearance] ; the surface of the wing 
is somewhat shining, and thickly speckled with scarcely darker spots in 
transverse sinuate lines (visible only with the light striking the wings at a 
suitable angle) ; cilia along their base chestnut brown, except around the 
tornus, greyish cinereous on their outer half and at the tornus ; faintly 
reticulated along the costa and around the termen on the underside. zp. al. 
22-23 mm. Hind-wings somewhat incised below the apex and near the

paler in the costal that in the dorsal region, a slight reticulation of darker 
scales about the apex and on the base of the cilia around it ; cilia pale 
shining brownish grey ; underside faintly reticulated along the costa and
