Allied to T. abietana, though in some respects more 

 like T. variegana ; much darker, the secondaries espe- 

 cially darker ; primaries above whity-brown, very faintly 

 tinted with pink in certain lights, mottled irregularly all 

 over with dark red-brown and black, the most con- 

 spicuous markings being two connected black-edged red- 

 brown oblique bands forming a very irregular and almost 

 i?-shaped character across the centre of the wing ; upon 

 the inner arm of this character is a pale sulphur-yellow 

 annulus, from which a small tuft of scales of the same 

 colour projects ; immediately beyond the if-shaped 

 character is a very irregular oblique purplish-grey forked 

 band spotted with black ; fringe pale brown, traversed 

 by two darker lines ; secondaries dark grey, with bronze 

 and purplish reflections ; basi-abdominal area pale ; 

 fringe whity-brown, spotted at apex with blackish, and 

 traversed by two dark lines ; body shining grey ; head 

 and palpi sordid whitish ; wings below shining whitish, 

 reticulated with grey, the costal margins spotted with 

 black; primaries with the apical three-sevenths blackish ; 

 fringe tipped with red-brown ; secondaries with three 

 conspicuous blackish costal spots, a fourth on the fringe 

 at apex, and two smaller spots on the outer margin ; 

 fringe as above ; body below sordid whitish ; legs banded 

 with pale brown ; venter with lateral series of black 

 spots. Expanse of wings, 17 mm.

 slender, with scarcely perceptible anal tuft ; antennae 

 rather long, tapering, ciliated ; palpi short, broad, and 

 hairy; legs short, thick, the tibiae clothed with rather, 

 long hair, the spurs moderately long ; anterior legs 

 clothed with hair almost to the extremity of the tarsi ; 

 primaries broad, the costal margin nearly straight, and 

 not much longer than the inner margin ; outer margin 

 slightly convex from the middle to the external angle ; 

 secondaries subovate, with nearly straight costal margin, 

 slightly concave towards apex.
