Head and thorax white irrorated with brown and black > 

 abdomen white, with broad brown and black bands. Fore wing 

 blackish and fulvous, with indistinct subbasal and curved ante- 

 medial white bands ; sinuous medial and postmedial white lines, 

 the former angled outwards to lower angle of cell, the latter 

 angled inwards below costa, bent out to vein 3, and retracted so 

 as almost to meet the medial line at lower angle of cell, the area 

 between them usually with more or less white both on its costal 

 and inner portions, and with a very ill-defined fulvous lunule 

 beyond the discocellulars ; a very irregular submarginal white 

 band, dentate below middle ; a marginal lunulate black and fulvous 

 band, dentate below vein 5. Hind wing with a dark spot near 

 base of inner area ; a diffused antemedial dark band from cell to 

 inner margin, with a line beyond it ; a dark-edged fulvous spot 

 beyond cell ; a postmedial sinuous line nearly meeting the medial 

 line at inner margin, with a diffused fuscous and fulvous band 

 beyond it ; a marginal fulvous and black lunulate band. 



The distribution of the black, fulvous, and white areas is 

 extremely variable.
