Exp. al. ( $ ), 1 in. 4—6 lin. ; ( 2 ), 1 in. 7—9 lin. 



$ . Dull fuscous-grey, with a slight ochraceous tinge ; 

 in both wings a blackish terminal disco-cellular spot and 

 discal row of spots (indistinct in hind wing). Fore 

 wing : Hind-marginal area beyond discal spots darker 

 than basal area ; between disco-cellular spot and discal 

 spots a dull suffused space of pale grey tinged with 

 ochraceous, radiating on the basal portion of the median 

 nervules ; first four spots of discal \ow confluent and 

 forming a costal bar as far as 3rd median nervule — the 

 other four small, indistinct, separate, in a row inclining 

 inwardly, between 3rd median nervule and submedian 

 nervure. Cilia dull white, with rather narrow fuscous 

 interruptions at extremities of nervules. Under side : 

 Hind wing and apex of fore wing dull hoary grey. Fore 

 wing : Basal area whitish grey, scarcely separable from 

 discal suffused space, which is dingy whitish and much 

 more extensive than on upper side, forming a band 

 beyond discal row of spots ; this row and disco-cellular 

 are very distinctly defined on the pale ground ; near base 

 two less distinct small fuscous spots, one in cell the other 

 below it ; outwardly edging discal dingy-whitish band 

 a row of rather ill-defined sagittate fuscous marks ; hind- 

 marginal border pale brownish from a little below apex. 

 Hind wing : Irregularly reniform disco-cellular spot, and 

 almost regular discal row of spots, very pale brownish, 

 with a thin dark brown edging line (stronger on inner 

 edge of row) relieved externally by a thin white line ; in 

 basal area the traces of two highly-irregular transverse 

 rows of broken pale-brownish spots ; a submarginal row 

 of minute, almost obsolete, subsagittiform spots ; hind- 

 marginal border clouded with pale brownish.
