This species is remarkable for the somewhat falcate form of 

 the fore wings, and the angulated hind wings ; the white colour 

 also of the innermost row of spots on the fore wings is charac- 

 teristic. In this pair of wings the ground colour is brown, the 

 spots being pale-coloured, but in the hind wings the spots are so 

 much increased in size as to constitute the ground colour of the 

 wings, reducing the separating dark parts to rows of obscure 

 lunules. The oblique vein which closes the discoidal cell is 

 curved at its base, and marked by a dark brown spot, with a dark 

 dot beneath it. There is also a corresponding dark dot on the 

 discoidal cell of the hind wings, which is not closed by a disco- 

 cellular transverse vein. The four branches of the post-costal 

 vein are arranged nearly as in Thaumantis Lucipor ; the first and 

 second of these branches coalescing with the costal, but separated 

 from it beyond its extremity. The antennae are short, straight, 

 and but slightly clavate. 



The very pale buff colour of the under side of the wings, with 

 the markings nearly obsolete, is also very characteristic.
