shaded with red ; undersurface wool colour, dusted with car- 

 mine, segments banded by a deep band of vermillion, narrowly 

 lineated by fuscous red, caudal brush drab-grey. Forewings 

 elongate, triangular, costa waved, apex acute, hindmargin 

 rounded, slightly scooped in anal fourth ; slaty grey, dusted and 

 dotted with black, and with chocolate-red and pink-white 

 diffusions and lines ; costa with black dots on basal third, a 

 white line at ^ runs obliquely inward to opposite f and gradually 

 diffuses into ground colour ; a narrow chocolate-red line from f 

 to -| costa subtends a diffusion of chocolate-red, and with it 

 encloses a conspicuous white streak from f to f ; the first white 

 subcostal line subtends a broad fuscous chocolate fascia, which 

 shades into ground colour towards base, and is freely covered by 

 minute black strigulae ; a linear crimson-red discal elongated 

 ring opposite i costa contains a central red-white line ; a wavy 

 denticulate line from opposite 2nd white streak at f costa to f 

 inner margin ; the subcostal chocolate suffusion becomes crimson 

 toward apex of costa, and diffuses into chocolate and slaty-grey 

 toward median fold ; a sharply defined chocolate band ^ costa 

 to f margin, waved to inner 4tli and bordered posteriorly by a 

 bright white line, tinted with pink ; the space between this 

 and hindmargin is light carmine, irrorated with fuscous drab 

 in costal half, and bordered with a suffusion of chocolate on anal 

 half of hindmargin. Cilia fuscous drab. Hindwings light 

 carmine, suffused with slaty-grey in centre and costal half; 

 four dark chocolate fuscous lines, 1st, | inner margin to ^ costa, 

 with a short cream-white undulating line posteriorly opposite the 

 centre ; 2nd, from f inner margin to f costa, narrowly lined 

 posteriorly with cream white ; 3rd, from ^ inner margin, crenu- 

 late and afterwards diffused to near 2nd line before costa ; 4th, 

 from anal angle of inner margin consists of interrupted dots, 

 and is sinuous and wavy to just before apex of costa ; space 

 between 4th line and hindmargin freely speckled with black. 

 Cilia as forewings. Undersurface of forewings is crosse^ 

 obliquely by a basal bar and by a median bar of umber-brown, 

 and at costa before apex by a short oblique bar and a dot of 

 same colour. Hindwings undersurface crossed by a median red 

 umber bar, and by an ochreous short line ; hindmarginal third
