S 2 20 — 22 ])])){. Head, face, and palpi ferrous fuscous. 

 Antennae ochreous fuscous. Thorax and abdomen ochreous

 irrorated with black and fuscous scales. Forewings with 

 diffused pale fuscous drab fascia from centre of base, through 

 wing, gradually nearing costa towards apex : a number of lines 

 and bands obliquely across wing ; a faint line from i inner 

 margin to apical end of longitudinal fascia ; a distinct but small 

 discal spot ; faint wavy lines parallel to first transverse line ; a 

 broad fascia obliquely from f inner margin to ^ hind- 

 margin ; a row of darker fuscous sub-marginal dots parallel to 

 hindmargin, a hindmarginal row of similar dots. Cilia ochreous 

 fuscous. Hindwings as forewings, discal spot plain, median 

 band continuous with that of forewings ; three wavy lines or 

 dots beyond run parallel, and a sub- marginal row of dots, a

 toward, but stopping short, at ^ before apex ; this is crossed 

 by several indistinct lines parallel to hindmargin ; these lines 

 continue on inner half of wing to hindmargin, but the costal 

 half lines run in a crescentic curve from costa to costal half of 

 hindmargin ; a row of black dots from opposite f of costa 

 obliquely toward inner margin at ^, this row stops short of both 

 margins but sends two or three small irregular placed dots near 

 hindmargin ; hindmarginal fuscous line with black dots. Cilia
