 forewing strongly convex ; a vestige of the discal line of irrofata ; a slightly 

 brownish patch near eud of cell ; another smaller one occasionally in middle of 

 cell ; disco-marginal area dusted with brown scales, especially behind. Scaling 

 of antenna pink. External spines of first protarsal segment very numerous in 

 this species, and in irrorata and rafiiiscens. Spines of abdominal tergites uniscriate.
