Equatorial African Micro-lepidoptera. 5D 
the second ; pale ferruginous. Head dull ferruginous. Thorar 
greyish, with three inconspicuous ferruginous longitudinal streaks 
and a reddish orange patch posteriorly. /oremwings dull ferruginous, 
paler on the dorsal than on the costal half, much speckled and 
shaded with greyish fuscous scales and streaked with metallic 
purplish grey, a triocellated dorsal patch before the tornus ; the 
dorsal half of the wing from near the base to the tornus is minutely 
reticulated with black wavy lines, and these are concentrated into 
a somewhat circular patch almost touching the dorsum before the 
tornus, in which are spots of the ferruginous (almost ochreous) 
ground-colour, and three or four larger spots of metallic bluish 
grey, all dark-margined, the more conspicuous of these bluish grey 
spots lying along its outer edge ; from the base, immediately below 
the costa, runs a bluish grey streak which is deflected at one-third 
the wing-length, terminating on the cell ; beneath it from the base 
arises a shorter streak of the same colour, almost coterminous with 
a similar streak arising from near the base of the dorsum, the 
space between them being brownish ; on the outer half of the 
wing are two conspicuous blue-grey streaks, the first arising below 
the costa near its middle and tending outwards and downwards 
towards the tornus, but ending between the ocellated patch and 
the termen at one-third the wing-breadth, the second commencing 
on the costa at four-fifths, less oblique than the first, and ending 
opposite to the middle of the termen above and beyond the apex of 
the first streak ; between them lies a small spot of the same colour 
below the costa, and beyond the outer one immediately before the 
apex is a similar spot almost touching the costa; several small 
brownish fuscous spots are visible along the basal two-thirds of the 
costa, and a brownish shade precedes each of the blue-grey streaks 
and extends along the termen to the apex (which is less falcate 
than in the South American representatives of this genus) ; cilia 
brownish grey with a ferruginous parting line near their base. 
Exp al, 19mm. Hindwings reddish orange, speckled around the 
margins and apex with greyish fuscous, and having a conspicuous 
ocelloid black patch within the middle of the termen, divided by 
streaks of the ground-colour, and illuminated along its lower edge 
by metallic steel-grey spots ; cilia greyish ochreous, spotted with 
blackish, with a reddish orange parting line along their base. 
Abdomen orange-ochreous. Legs pale orange-ochreous, hind tarsal 
joints spotted with black and whitish.
