 of the primaries ; on these wings also there is a blackish dot at the end of the cell: body

(J . Bright reddish castaneous glossed with rose-pink, crossed from apex of primaries to 

 middle of abdominal margin by a brown-edged, silvery line, bounded internally by a band, 

 which gradually expands towards costa of primaries, of a deeper and brighter tint than the 

 ground-colour; basal third of the wings paler and more pink than the rest of the ground- 

 colour, excepting a zigzag stripe beyond the silvery line and a diffused submarginal streak : on 

 the secondaries the zigzag stripe is dotted here and there with white points, and between 

 the subcostal branches is partly obscured by a dark grey patch : thorax rufous-brown, 

 greyish at the back; abdomen sandy testaceous, with the anal segment flesh-coloured. 

 Under surface of wings sandy testaceous, irrorated with grey and tinted here and there 

 with pink, crossed near the middle by an oblique mahogany-brown stripe, beyond which 

 they are more or less deeply tinted with sienna, this colour is, however, deepest towards 

 the outer margin of the secondaries; a series of black points upon the veins at a short 

 distance beyond the oblique stripe, and halfway between this series and the outer 

 margin a series of whitish points also on the veins; fringe mahogany-brown. Primaries 

 with a sienna-brown spot upon the third median branch, and two unequal blackish costal 

 spots near the apex. Body below flesh-pink. Expanse of wings 74 millim.
