Alis anticis faleatis dilute argillaceis ; umbra ferruginea 
externe prope apicem acuminata et strigulis costalibus

margine apicali peranguste fusco, cilis argillaceis fer-

Head pale reddish ochreous; palpi projecting about 
the length of the head beyond it; the apical joint and 
the surrounding scales which project from the second 
joint fuscous; antenne tinged with ferruginous. Fore 
wings pale argillaceous, much shaded with ferruginous, 
which forms an acute angle before the falcate apex, 
leaving on the space above the anal angle a patch of the 
plain ground colour: this ferruginous shade contains 
above the middle of the wing and about the end of the 
cell a longitudinal reduplicated and somewhat diffused 
blackish fuscous streak, and below it two or three 
slender diverging lines of the paler ground colour. On 
the costa before the middle are five or six small oblique 
fuscous streaks, beyond the middle is a ferruginous 
shade interrupted by a series of reduplicated pale streaks 
each centred with a few dark fuscous scales at the base ; 
the first of these streaks follows the upper edge of the 
ferruginous discal shade from the middle of the costa 
nearly to its extreme angle near the apical margin, 
where it almost joins the point of the last streak nearest 
to the apex; a slender dark fuscous line indicates the 
apical margin at the base of the pale cilia, which are
