 a more or less dense irroration of rusty brownish-red scales ; a 

 minute dot at base of interspace 7 with a minute ring beyond ; 

 a series of 4 dark spots transversely cross the wing at middle of 

 cell followed by a transverse dark bar from apex of wing to

 by a much shorter similar bar across interspaces 2 and 3. Cilia 

 of fore and bind wings pink. Intermediate form as in the wet-
