Olivaceous brown, densely striated with black; primaries crossed in the middle by two 

 reversed irregularly arched white bands, which usually unite on the first median branch so as 

 to produce a large }|-shaped character ; immediately beyond these bands is a third curved 

 white band from the apex to the first median branch, continued, by the addition of a transverse 

 orange dash, almost to the submedian vein ; a pale, widely undulated submargina] line ; a 

 white spot on the middle of the fringe: secondaries crossed near the base by a white band, 

 which curves outwards on the subcostal area, and almost joins an arched white post median 

 baud ; centre of disk irregularly golden brown, without black striations ; a slender white stripe 

 partly tinted with yellow, and bordered externally with orange, from the extremity of the first 

 subcostal branch to the abdominal margin just below the postmedian vein ; immediately 

 beyond this stripe a series of subcontinent whitish-edged black hastate spots, their points 

 directed outwards; fringe white between the costal and subcostal, and between the second and 

 third median veins ; a series of marginal lunate black spots : vertex of head and front of collar 

 pale sandy brown ; antennae with sienna-red pectinations ; base of abdomen crossed by a white 

 band. Under surface dark sericeous grey-brown ; the basal area mottled with white : primaries 

 with the J|-shaped character wider and more irregular than above; a white apical spot, and 

 a white spot on the fringe : secondaries with a broad subcostal white band continent with a

* This genus was referred by its author to the Ennomidce ; it is, however, evidently allied to the 

 preceding genus.
