and contains a round inconspicuous fuscous spot, bordered by 

 ashy grey, a more or less triangular to kidney-shaped black 

 discal ring edged internally with grey, and an interrupted more 

 or less broken square of black bars on inner margin at f ; a 

 sharply-defined black line at f costa runs obliquely towards 

 second line, giving off a shorter line to the second line, and 

 forming a black triangle on costa, but is itself continuous as a 

 wavy grey line more or less distinct to anal angle — there are 

 several indistinct grey broken lines across the wing in its whole 

 depth, the markings being darker on the veins ; hindmarginal 

 line black, interrupted between veins. Cilia grey. Hind- 

 wings pale grey-white with iron-grey veins and a deep band of 

 iron-grey on hindmargin, narrowing to anal angle. Cilia light 

 grey.

(? ? . 18-20 mm. Head, palpi, and antennte light wainscoat 

 drab. Thorax white, collar wainscoat drab, epaulettes white 

 bordered with wainscoat drab. Abdomen creamy white. Fore- 

 wings triangular, broadly dilate, costa straight, apex acute, 

 hindmargin rounded ; wainscoat white, barred and diffused with 

 purplish grey or grey fuscous ; costa with a fine brown band 

 crossed by six short oblique fuscous stripes in posterior half, each 

 subtending a line across wing; 1st stripe at a of costa subtends 

 a line which crosses cell obliquely at i ; 2nd stripe just beyond 

 the 1st, subtends a line crossing to inner border at i, costal 

 portion often interrupted and mdistinct ; 3rd stripe at | costa 

 Is obliquely prolonged half the distance to J hindmargin, thence 

 at an angle to | inner margin : this line is bounded posteriorly 

 by a ground colour line ; line from 4th stripe indefinite ; 5th and 

 6th stripes unite to form a line below apex to ^ inner margin — this 

 line is dotted with minute black dots and is edged with ground 

 colour on anterior border ; a dividing purple grey or fuscous 

 fascia from costa just before apex runs obliquely to i inner 

 margin, having two minute black dots close to apex, and is
