 ochreous white slightly irrorated with black. Fore wing ochreous 

 thickly irrorated with black, the veins with pale streaks ; diffused 

 fuscous streaks along subcostal and median nervures and fine 

 streaks defining the veins beyond the cell, leaving a pale fascia 

 in discal fold from before end of cell to termen ; a terminal series 



of black points ; cilia fuscous mixed with ochreous. Hind wing 

 ochreous white suffused and irrorated with fuscous especially on
