Head white, the forehead with two black lines uniting on the 

 vertex. Palpi white, lined with black. Antennae black exter- 

 nally, white internally. Thorax greyish ash or fawn-coloured, 

 with four black longitudinal lines, the prothorax white. Anterior 

 wings fuscous above, the base fawn-coloured, the disc crossed by 

 a semi-transparent whitish band, commencing on the costa beyond 

 the cell, and terminating almost in a point a little above the anal 

 angle. Posterior wings above bright luteous, the base fawn- 

 coloured, the outer margin with a rather broad black band, com- 

 mencing on the costa, occupying the outer angle, and terminating 

 at the anal angle, sending off a branch which terminates before 

 the end of the tail, and having two short teeth extending to the 

 outer margin. The inner margin has two dark spots about the 

 middle ; the outer margin is bright luteous, except where touched 

 by the black of the submarginal band. The anterior wings have 

 the lower surface yellowish white at the base, with five longitu- 

 dinal cinnabar-coloured vittae, the inner margin pale fuscous, the 

 rest of the wing of a cinnabar hue crossed by two bands ; the first 

 the white sub-diaphanous band, common to both surfaces, the 

 second nearer to the outer margin, narrower, pale ash colour. 

 Cilia fuscous. The posterior wings have the lower surface streaked 

 at the base with yellowish white, the middle crossed by a whitish 

 band, tinged with yellow, bordered with luteous yellow beyond 

 the second sub-costal nervule, bent almost at a right angle where 

 it crosses the first median nervule, terminating on the inner mar- 

 gin above a rounded black dot ; near the outer angle is an abbre- 

 viated, slender, pale fascia, terminating before reaching the dis- 

 coidal nervule, beyond which are two or three small black clouds ; 

 the outer margin is marked with two black spots, and there are 

 two similar spots, one at the anal angle, one on the inner side of 

 the tail. Legs greyish. Abdomen ringed alternately with pale 

 greyish and fawn-coloured.
