 GON2EPA, Wkr., Cat. Lp. Ins. BM. XXXV. 1840 (18^6). 



Antenna <j strongly biciliate (4) ; 9 filiform. Maxillary Palpi not 

 developed. Labial Palpi very slender, median joint recurved, terminal 

 joint as long as median but more slender. Haustellum present. Head 

 small, smooth. Thorax smooth. Foreivings gradually widened from 

 the base, at the termen nearly twice the width of the extreme base ; costa 

 slightly arched at the base, straight beyond, apex slightly rounded, 

 termen somewhat oblique, tornus well-defined. Neuration II veins 

 (4 probably coincident with 3) ; 2 and 3 stalked ; 7 and 8 stalked, 7 to 

 costa, 9 out of stalk of 7 + 8 ; 5 and 6 remote ; I simple (not basally 

 furcate) ; an internal vein from near 1 1 sends two branches to between 



5 and 6. Hindwings broader than the forewings, rather trapezoidal, 

 costa straight, apex rounded, termen scarcely impressed below the apex 

 but with a somewhat defined angle between veins 3 and 4. Neuration : 

 7 veins (5 absent, cell open) ; 2 from near base of cell ; 3 and 4 stalked ; 



6 and 7 stalked ; 8 free to near base. Abdomen short, <J moderate, 

 ? wide and slightly flattened. Legs, hind tibiae slightly roughened 

 with scales above ; spurs moderate.

Antenna, Palpi, Head and Thorax purplish brown, the palpi paler 

 beneath. Fore-wings purplish brown along the costal half, the brown 

 colour extending across the wing at the base, almost to the extreme edge 

 of the dorsum ; the remainder of the wing orange-yellow to the tornus, 

 extending along the lower half of the termen, the division between the 

 two colours not abruptly defined; at about one-fifth from the apex 

 a slight orange yellow streak passes through the brown into the yellow 

 portion of the wing ; this is somewhat distinctly margined by a brown 

 streak on its inner side ; cilia brown, with a pale yellow line at their base ; 

 underside corresponding to the upper side in colour. Exp. al. 23 mm. 

 Hindwings pale orange yellow, purplish brown at the extreme base ; the 

 hinder margin broadly purplish fuscous, into which the yellow colour 

 extends in short tooth-like projections along or between the veins ; 

 a small purplish fuscous spot lies on the upper edge of the cell at one- 

 third from the base ; underside corresponding to the upper side in colour. 

 Abdomen purplish brown at the base, with a broad yellow band across the 

 middle, corresponding to the yellow space in the wings when expanded. 

 Legs yellowish, with purplish brown bands across the ends of the tarsi 

 and tibiae.
