Fawn-colour, tinged with rosy on the costa and inner 

 margin of the wings, most broadly on the inner margin of the 

 fore wings and most deeply on the long fringes of the inner 

 margin of the hind wings. Antennte with a row of short, 

 sharp, triangular teeth on each side, terminating in a slender 

 curved bristle, finely ciliated on the curve. Body and femora 

 clothed with rosy hair ; thorax damaged, but the front tufts 

 are rosy and the hinder tufts pale grey. Fore wings with a 

 triangular black spot on the middle of the costa ; a brown 

 line crosses the end of the cell, curves outwards, and then 

 slopes obliquely inwards to nearly the middle of the inner 

 margin. A white line, bordered inside with rosy brown, runs 

 from the tip of the fore wings to just within the anal angle of 

 the hind wings. Underside more pink, without markings 

 except the common outer line, which is pink. Legs long, 

 femora very pilose, middle tibiai with terminal and hind tibiaa 

 with middle and terminal spurs ; tibiae and tarsi armed on 

 the sides and beneath with rows of fine black spines. Abdo- 

 men with a small anal tuft.
