with greyish fuscous. Thorax brownish fuscous. Forewings narrow 
at the base, much widened outwardly, apex rounded, termen some- 
what oblique ; brownish fuscous to beyond the middle, thence 
orange-ochreous; the outer edge of the brownish fuscous portion 
broken into projecting points, one tending upwards towards the 
apex from the upper end of the cell, another shorter one tending 
outwards from the lower angle of the cell, a narrow band of 
brownish fuscous runs around the apex and termen to the tornus 
with a slight inward projection below the apex (but in some speci- 
mens this is reduced to a slight shade) preceding a more or less 
distinct brownish line along the base of the pale greyish cilia ; a 
pale greyish speckled transverse fascia crosses the darker portion 
of the wing at one-third from the base, and is somewhat wider on 
its lower than on its upper half ; a few whitish scales are visible at 
three points on the costa, the first at the upper extremity of the 
transverse fascia, the second at the outer edge of the brown por- 
tion of the wing, the third immediately before the apex, and these 
are slightly reproduced on the brownish fuscons underside. Erp. 
al, 14mm. Hindwings brown, with pale greyish cilia, a narrow 
brown parting line running through them near their base ; a slight 
pale marking occurs near the abdominal angle, within the margin, 
extending outwards parallel with it nearly to one-half. Abdomen, 
brownish fuscous. Leys brownish, with several conspicuous whitish 
bands on the hind tibiz and tarsi, spurs whitish.

This specimen exhibits some slight variation from the
