A pair of 21 — 22 mm. expanse. 



Belongs to Lederer's Section B of the genus, and comes next to 

 hrunnealis, Traits., but is distinct by the long tegulse of the male, 

 reaching almost to the half of the abdomen, the somewhat larger 

 size, the much more flexuous second line of the fore wings, and 

 the darker colour of their basal and marginal thirds. Head with 

 palpi and thorax pale greyish luteous. Basal and marginal third 

 of fore wings dull black, central area pale cold greyish luteous, a 

 little dusted with black, and with a round black discal dot, the 

 costal margin narrowly black, with distinct minute pale dots. The 

 width of the central area is at the costa the double of that on the 

 inner margin, being limited by the strongly flexuous paler second 

 line. The first line, which limits the basal area, is nearly perpen- 

 dicular, a little flexuous in the middle. Marginal line pale, with 

 indistinct black dots. Fringes dark grey. Hind wings grey, the 

 fringes with a dark basal line. Abdomen grey ; anal tuft of male 

 ochreous.

Vein 8 of hind wings is free, the ocelli are present, 

 and the remarkable labial palpi almost formed as in the 

 genus Nosophora (see Lederer, Wien. Ent. Mon., vii., 

 pi. 4, f. 26).

[Seems common at low elevations, but I have not 

 taken it myself. Occurs also in the Khasia Hills and 

 China.— H. J. E.j
