represented by a short brown costal dash, outer line 

 well-defined brown, excepting on costal border, where it 

 is black and zigzag ; submarginal series of lunules ill- 

 defined, but black, and commencing upon the costa with 

 a transverse oblong black dash, placed a little farther 

 from the margin than the series itself ; a conspicuous 

 black spot at the end of the cell ; secondaries with a 

 small dark brown pencil of hair at the end of the cell ; 

 antennae with testaceous pectinations ; thorax slightly 

 sordid in front ; under surface snow-white, primaries 

 with the costal margin irrorated with black ; subcostal 

 area occupied by a red-brown streak extending almost to 

 the subapical oblong costal dash, from which it is 

 separated by a narrow white stripe ; from the end of this 

 brown streak an oblique line crosses the wing to the 

 inner margin, thus limiting the basal two-thirds, which 

 is more or less suffused between the veins with brown 

 scales ; beyond the oblique line the interspaces are 

 greyish up to the submarginal series of spots, which are 

 placed as above, but are more distinct and red-brown ; 

 secondaries with two minute closely-approximated black 

 dots at the end of the cell ; a few brown scales in a 

 transverse line beyond the cell ; collar below black ; 

 tarsi brown, fringed with long hair. Expanse of wings, 

 44 mm. 



? . Primaries above pale creamy buff ; an oblique 

 black spot at the end of the cell ; outer (or discal) brown 

 line slender, zigzag ; subapical costal spot ill-formed, 

 brown ; submarginal spots reduced so as to form a 

 very slender slightly-irregular interrupted brown line ; 

 secondaries snow-white, with cream-coloured fringe ; a 

 brown spot at the end of the cell ; a pale reddish brown 

 spot at anal third of abdominal border, and two sub- 

 marginal dashes of the same colour towards the anal 

 angle ; body cream-coloured on both surfaces ; wings 

 below white, washed with cream-colour on the costal 

 areas ; primaries with a dusky spot at the end of the 

 cell, a second smaller and lunate spot at apical third of 

 costa, and an apical submarginal streak ; no other 

 markings : tarsi brown, anus clay-red. Expanse of 

 wings, 66 mm. 

 A pair.
