Male. — Fuliginous. Primaries traversed by several fine 

 wavy and angulated lines; these are whitish or yellowish in 

 colour and only distinct on costal and inner margins ; there 

 are indications of two whitish bands on the median area, the 

 first represented by an angular dash on costal area, a sagitta 

 mark on the middle, and a small spot on inner margin, the 

 second by a slightly waved dash on costal area and a small 

 double spot on first submedian nervule ; subraarginal band 

 formed of whitish spots and the marginal band of yellow 

 ones ; all these whitish lines and bands are tinged with 

 yellow on the costa. Secondaries have the abdominal area 

 suffused with smoky grey and the outer angle yellow ; sub- 

 marginal and marginal bands composed of yellow spots, the 

 former preceded on costal area by a yellow crescent-shaped 

 mark, representing a central band. A blackish discal spot on 

 all the wings. Fringes fuliginous, those of secondaries 

 yellow at outer margin and opposite each marginal spot. 

 Under surface yellowish : primaries clouded with brownish on 

 basal and outer marginal areas ; central double line brownish, 

 elbowed above the middle, and connected with an interrupted 

 submarginal band of the same colour by an oblique darker 

 cloud ; a blackish oblique dash extends from apex almost to 

 submarginal band ; secondaries whitish grey on abdominal 

 area and clouded and suffused with yellowish on outer marginal 

 area; central line and submarginal band as on primaries, but 

 the former is curved and has an angular projection on its 

 inner edge before abdominal margin. 



Female. — Similar to the male, but larger; the white bands 

 on upper surface of the primaries are less interrupted, as also 

 is the central yellow one of secondaries ; the under surface is 

 less yellow and heavily clouded with dusky.
