Head pale drab behind, dusky in front. Face dusky drab. Eyes 

 black. Palpi as long as the head, drab ; the terminal joint black. 

 Antennas fuscous. Thorax: in front and on the vertex smoky 

 brown ; pale drab behind, especially at the sides. Patagia smoky 

 brown at the base, pale drab at the apex. Anterior wings dull, 

 pale drab, with smoky and ochreous brown and black markings. At 

 the base is a streaky, smoky brown or black cloud, softening off and 

 extending beyond the middle of the costa, but retiring towards the 

 dorsal margin, along which it proceeds one-third, with an undefined 

 and somewhat concave edge. Beyond the middle of the dorsal margin 

 is another similar- coloured, but slightly paler cloud, mixed with 

 ochreous brown, occupying the whole of the apical portion, and 

 reaching the apex with a convex border, which, towards the middle 

 of its course, encounters three black spots placed transversely, and 

 broadly edged posteriorly with leaden-coloured, lustrous scales. These 

 are followed by the ocelloid patch, which is distinct, edged with cream- 

 colour, the space enclosed being dark ochreous brown, marked with 

 longitudinal black lines. This patch is edged posteriorly with lustrous 

 leaden-coloured scales, with a streak of similar colour towards the 

 anal angle. The costa is marked throughout, the maculations beyond 

 the middle, being in the form of gemmated streaks, five in number, 

 and cream-colour, which fuse, and are produced into lustrous blue, 

 oblique streaks, directed to the apical margin. Apical spot distinct. 

 The pale portion of the wing, especially towards the costa, is streaked 

 with smoky black ; a smoky-black, un defined streak is on the dorsal 

 margin. Apical scales umber, with the bases very narrowly paler ; 

 slightly interrupted below the apex, beyond the middle, and at the 

 anal angle. Cilia glossy, smoky brown, with very narrow, paler 

 bases. Posterior wings and marginal scales dull umber, palest at the 

 base. Cilia glossy, straw-colour. Abdomen umber, the segments 

 edged with straw-coloured scales. $ Exp. al. 8-9 lin.
