Head pale fuscous. Face silvery-white. Maxillary palpi 
yellow. Labial palpi reddish-orange, bases whitish, extreme 
apices fuscous. Antenne longer than forewings, whitish-ochreous, 
with dark-fuscous annulations. Thorax reddish-violet above, 
bright yellow on sides. Abdomen above anteriorly whitish- 
ochreous, posteriorly ochreous-fuscous ; beneath whitish. Legs, 
tibie reddish-violet, middle pair moderately thickened, tarsi 
whitish. Forewings brilliant-yellow; an ill-defined reddish- 
violet band, rather less than one-third breadth of disc, runs from 
base along inner and hindmargins to apex; in this band is a 
blackish dot at about one-fourth, and a second just outside this ; 
several smaller blackish dots on inner margin, and five or six 
similar dots on hindmargin ; cilia on costa yellow, on hindmargin 
reddish-violet towards apex, grey towards anal angle. Hind- 
wings and cilia grey. 
This brilliant insect appears to be allied to (rac. adelina, 
Meyr., from New Zealand.
