postmedial line, very broad towards inner margin ; the marginal 

 area black-brown, wide towards costa. Hind wing pale, with a 

 series of dark specks on the veins from costa to vein 2 just beyond 

 the middle ; the marginal area suffused with fuscous, with a series 

 of black specks on the margin.

Palpi porrect and triangularly scaled, the 3rd joint hidden by 

 hair ; maxillary palpi filiform ; f rons rounded ; antenn of male 

 ciliated ; tibiaa with the outer spurs about half the length of inner. 

 Fore wing with the costa arched towards apex, which is acute ; the 

 outer margin angled at vein 4'; vein 3 from close to angle of cell ; 

 4, 5 from angle, 7 curved and approximated for a short distance to 

 8, 9, to which 10 also is approximated. Hind wing with the outer 

 margin produced to a point at vein 6 and excurved at middle ; 

 vein 3 from angle of cell ; 4, 5 approximated for a short distance ; 

 6, 7 from upper angle, 7 anastomosing with 8 ; a large tuft of 

 hair on median nervure at lower angle of cell.

d . Pale ferruginous ; palpi white at base below. Fore wing 

 with indistinct outwardly-oblique sinuous antemedial line ; an 



indistinct postmedial line 

 highly curved from costa to 

 vein 2 and angled outwards 

 in interne-median inter-

d . Differs from ferruginata in the patagia being white-tipped ; 

 the fore wing paler and semihyaline ; the antemedial line obliquely 



curved; the postmedial line oblique and strongly marked from 

 costa to vein 0, where it is angled, then waved, reduced to specks 

 on the veins and inwardly oblique to inner margin just beyond
