Male. — Whitish. Primaries tinged with cinnamon-grey 

 at the base and clouded with blackish on basal half; all the 

 wings are traversed by series of black dots arranged as in 

 P. fumidaria, but the bands are blockish grey and considerably 

 interrupted, especially on the lower portion of outer margin of 

 primaries and on the secondaries. Fringes whitish grey, 

 becoming darker towards apex of primaries. Under surface 

 of primaries much clouded with blackish grey, that of second- 

 aries very similar to upperside, but the markings are rather 

 paler. Thorax and abdomen cinnamon-grey, spotted with 

 black. 



Female. — Wings rather more ample; outer margin of 

 primaries rounder. The bhickish-grey central baud of 

 primaries is much broken up and the bands on secouduries 

 are almost ob.solete ; the under surface of primaries is free 

 from blackish-grey clouding except on basal portion of costa 

 and on apical area of primaries.
