 usual minute spines ; hind femora incrassated for nearly half the length 

 from the base; tibiae and tarsi tawny; fore tibiae slightly dilated at the 

 base. Fore wings shorter by one line than the hind wings, rather narrow, 

 much rounded at the tips, with a few black points in each of the large 

 areolets, which are regular, quadrilateral and conspicuous; the minute 

 areolets very indistinct; veins between the scapular vein and the costa and 

 between the interno-medial vein and the hind border transverse, nearly 

 parallel to each other ; exierno-medial vein with two forked branches ; space 

 between the anal vein and the hind border with a pellucid tympanum in the 

 right wing and with a black patch in the left wing ; a broad blackish streak 

 beyond the patch, reticulated by pale veins ; hind border with numerous 

 black points in both wings. Hind wings pellucid ; tips with the colour and 

 texture of the fore wings; veins testaceous; transverse veinlets white. 

 Length of the body 1 1 lines ; expansion of the fore wings 36 lines. 



The fore wings are more rounded at the tips than those of the typical 

 species of the genus; they are also longer in proportion to the hind 



wings.
