Pale smoky brown, speckled with black; primaries 
crossed in the middle by a broad white band, speckled 
with black towards costa, bounded externally by a dentate- 
sinuate black line, and crossed in the middle by a similar 
line (which is however interrupted by a semicircular 
black-edged spot at the end of the cell); basal area 
spotted with black ; external area crossed by two some- 
what confluent undulated black stripes ; the outer stripe 
bordered with grey, which, however, is replaced by white 
on the median interspaces and towards apex ; secondaries 
with the basal two-thirds white, densely speckled with 
black, and limited externally by the outer of two parallel 
central dentate-smuate black lines; a pale submarginal 
dentate-sinuate line with dusky inner border, and corre-

of the primaries, but far less distinct ; all the wings with 
a slender black marginal line, and a more or less defined 
blackish stripe on the fringe; thorax paler than the
