with a slight purplish gloss ; five small blackish spots (the first on 
the disc before the middle is sometimes connected with one on the 
middle of the fold below, and somewhat before it ; a small one on 
the lower edge of the cell lies halfway between these and two 
parallel spots, the one above the other, at the outer end of the 
cell) ; around the apex and apical margin is a series of six or eight 
ill-defined greyish-fuscous spots along the base of the cilia which 
are greyish-cinereous, somewhat darker towards the apex. Hind- 
winys very pale cinereous with pale greyish-cinereous cilia.

In a single specimen the darker shading is more 
conspicuous, and the two inner spots are merged in an 
angulated fascia, leaving the dorsal margin at one-third 
and tending obliquely outwards to the disc before the 
middle, where it is angulated back towards the costa 
from what should be the position of the upper spot; 
but, before reaching the costa, it is again bent upwards 
and slightly outwards to the margin. 
Abdomen very pale cinereous, the segments marked by narrow 
greyish fuscous transverse lines. Exp. al., 19 mm. 
Type. <2 ..Mus., Wism.
