and collar somewhat paler; palpus mostly dark red on outer 

 side, whitish beneath, terminal joint very short. Antenna 

 with moderate fascicles of cilia. Hind tibia and tarsus with 

 strong tufts, mostly light-coloured ; abdomen with lateral 

 tuft somewhat developed. 



Fore wing with termen smooth ; SC 2 about connate with 

 SC 3 " 5 ; rather glossy buff-pink, with extremely fine grey (in 

 some lights slightly olive-tinged) irroration ; costal margin 

 more slightly irrorated ; lines formed by condensation of the 

 irroration, moderately well developed ; antemedian rather 

 weak at costal extremity, oblique outward, weakly bent in 

 middle of cell, then very slightly sinuous to hind margin at 

 three-sevenths, cell-spot annular, grey with a few whitish 

 scales, its circumscription blackish ; median line in the ante- 

 rior half parallel with postmedian, midway between this and 

 cell-spot, strongly oblique inwards from M 1 to behind M 2 , 

 reaching hind margin at about three-fifths; postmedian 

 sinuous, on the veins dentate outward ; nearest the termen at 

 SC 5 -!! 1 and R 3 -!! 1 , strongly inbent behind M 2 ; terminal 

 line extremely fine and weak (almost obsolete). 



Hind wing with termen smooth, SC 2 separate; antemedian 

 line wanting, median rather weaker than on fore wing. 



Underside much paler and rather more ochreous, the poste- 

 rior part of fore wing and much of hind wing (except costal 

 and distal regions) whitish with some iridescence ; fore wing 

 with costal margin red from near base to well beyond 

 middle and with traces of postmedian line on anterior part, 

 otherwise almost without markings.
