$ ? Pale orange-ochreous ; forewings with blackish 
bordering. Foregoing : border rather wide from base along 
costa, abruptly interrupted on costal edge beyond middle, 
but thence forming a broad apical border Avhich rapidly 
narrows along hind margin to a point at anal angle ; border 
marked on costal edge by 4 sub-quadrate spots of the

ruption, a broad ray downward as far as 3rd median nervule ; 
before this ray, and united to the border, a narrow blackish 
marking defines extremity of discoidal cell. Hindwing :
