 Abdomen with a white stigmatal band, edged above and beneath 

 with black, and containing reddish-brown spots. Fore wings with 

 a basal white streak extending from the costa to the base of medio- 

 posterior nervule and thence to the inner margin at the base of the 

 wing, bordered toward the base with orange-yellowish and exter-

 the wing is brown dusted with blackish and powdered with whitish

 the band. At the tip is a large whitish roseate patch, three con-
