" Thorax pale griseous, mixed with white. Abdomen very pale. 

 Anterior wings pale testaceous, h-rorated with black and white 

 atoms — an indistinct interrupted pale striga before the middle — 

 then a second arcuated striga composed of black lunules, edged 

 externally with whitish; the first striga terminates in a rather con- 

 spicuous black dot on the inner margin of the wing, the ordinary 

 stigmata are placed between these strigse, the reniform one being 

 distinctly edged with white. Between the black dots on the 

 inner margin of the wing and the thorax is a slender black line. 

 Hinder margin pale testaceous, with an indistinct undulating 

 pale line, commencing at a pale patch on the costa near the 

 apex. A distinct row of black marginal lunules, cilia spotted 

 with deep and pale fuscous. On the costa near the apex are two 

 oblique white spots. Posterior wings pure white in both sexes, 

 with black marginal lunules. Antennse of the male rather 

 strongly ciliated."
