(PL. Vil. fig: 32) 
9 .—33-35 mm. 
Frontal tuft very small. Palpus one-and-a-half times as 
long as diameter of eye. Head and body concolorous with 
wings. 
Fore wing with termen waved, a scarcely noticeable sinus 
between R1 and R?; SC! arising from C ; SC? free; white, 
shaded almost throughout with violaceous fuscous and with 
some coarse dark fuscous irroration; an ill-defined ochreous- 
brown admixture in the region of the lines, especially post- 
medially ; costal margin indefinitely dark-spotted basally ; 
jines thick and strongly oblique outward at costa (at approxi- 
mately one-fifth, two-fifths, and three-fifths), otherwise ill- 
defined and oblique inward, the antemedian inbent behind M, 
the median forming a sinuous shade in the region of the 
somewhat elongate, obliquely placed, dark cell-mark, the 
postmedian forming a marked inward curve between R! and 
M?, accentuated by a long blackish mark on its proximal 
side, which is swollen in the middle and gradually tapers 
posteriorly ; the blackish marks between the radials beyond 
the postmedian line (characteristic of many of the genus) 
unusually elongate—nearly or quite 2 mm. in length ; a large 
dark ferruginous spot from nearly four-fifths costa almost to 
the subcostal angle of postmedian line; an oblique darker 
mark from tornus to fold; the space between median shade 
and postmedian, a small patch distal to the ferruginous one, 
and another at mid-termen mainly whitish, the second of 
these patches usually culminating in a clearer white spot 
between SC® and R'; termen with shallow elongate dark 
lunules, which are sometimes almost confluent; a slight 
interrupted white line at base of fringe, extending minutely 
on to the wing distally to the lunules; fringe otherwise 
violet-fuscous, quite weakly dark-spotted opposite the’ veins. 
Hind wing with median shade curving inward proximally 
to the cell-spot, which is rounder (less elongate) than on fore 
wing; distal area more weakly marked than on fore wing, 
wanting the characteristic dark markings. 
Both wings beneath purer white, though with coarse strigu- 
late irroration ; costal edge and veins more or less strongly 
ochreous; cell-marks strong; median shade present, but 
ill-defined; area distally to postmedian line dark, ferruginous- 
mixed, enclosing on the fore wing white patches corresponding
