Wings fulvous-brown, much varied with darker and lighter shades, 
and with numerous small dark dots and streaks ; the base with a grey 
shade much-mottled with small dark brown patches; before the 
middle of the wing is an ill-defined, pale, nearly syuare patch, resting 
on the median vein, but extending narrowly along the costal margin, 
which is much marked with dark dots; the middle of the wing is 
more uniformly fulvous brown, with a dark, very oblique dash arising 
from the costa, which is considerably curved beyond the middle: a 
dark brown oval patch also rests on the middle of the last branch of 
the median vein ; the apical margin of the wing is scalloped and dark 
brown, preceded by a paler patch marked with undulating fulvous- 
brown lines ; the hind-angle of the wing being much dotted with dif- 
ferent shades of fulvous and brown. The hind-wings have a large 
sulphur-white patch occupying the base of the wings, except the 
extreme base, which is pink. The remainder is brown, varied with 
minute fulyous spots, the anal angle being more mottled. 
On the underside the wings are paler and richer coloured, more 
decidedly mottled ; the fore-wings having the base suffused with pink. 
The veins are fulvous. 
The antenne are but slightly pectinated. 
The body is fulvous-brown, the thoracic portion tinged with pink.

A single specimen only of this insect exists in the British Museum, 
haying the wings so completely denuded of scales, except at the base, 
that it is impossible to give a detailed charater ; their outline is how- 
ever entire. The anterior ones are subfalcate, and the hind ones are 
denticulated along the outer margin, the tooth at the extremity of 
the middle branch of the median vein being the most acute. All that 
remains of the colouring of the fore-wings is a reddish-fulvous buff, 
which seems indeed to have extended all over these wings, as well as 
over the hind-wings, which are suffused with pink on the upper side 
towards the anterior margin. On the under side the wings are co- 
loured as above ; the fore-wings are also suffused with pink along the 
posterior margin at the base, and they, as well as the hind-wings, have 
the anterior margin somewhat streaked transversely with brown. I 
can discern no trace of eyes in the middle of the wings. The body 
both above and below is fulvous brown, as are also the antennz and 
legs. 
“The basal joint of the antennz is clothed beneath with a thick 
mass of hairs ; each is furnished with eighty rays, each of the twenty 
joints succeeding the basal one emitting four rays, one close at the 
base and one close at the apex on each side, the inside of the two on 
each side being furnished with fine hairs, the tips of which come in
