This species seems to have been previously known from 

 the 9 only; Coll. Brit. Mas. has 2 9> the type and one 

 from Singapore; in Coll. Joicey there is a single 9 from 

 Bidi, Sarawak. 



The cf antenna is pectinated to just beyond middle, the 

 pectinations being clothed witli fine short bristles or stout 

 hairs, the proximal pectinations five or six times diameter of 

 shaft ; termen of fore wing distinctly more oblique than in 

 the 9 ; both wings with a little more dark irroration. 

 Otherwise agrees well with the 9 •

A common species, widely distributed from India to New

 racial variation which has not vet been detected.
