Superficially like a very small Scopulodes venosa, Walker, 

 but the fore wings are very much narrower in proportion, 

 and the apex consequently acute ; the ochreous abdominal 

 margin of hind wings is much more limited, and the legs are 

 ochreous, not black, and the underside altogether very 

 different.

^ . Palpi and tufts of hair at the base of antennae dark 

 chocolate-brown, antennae much paler ; frons, head, and 

 collar broadly pure white ; body and fore wings dark choco- 

 late-brown in parts, but somewhat variegated with paler shades 

 of colour ; a pale space on the costa of fore wings before the 

 apex ; a broad pale space from the base nearly to the outer 

 margin just above the hinder margin ; some indistinct 

 blackish-brown longitudinal streaks before the outer margin : 

 hind wings dark chocolate brownish grey, without markings : 

 anal tuft of abdomen blackish brown. Underside paler than 

 above, much more uniform in colour.

 wings of a somewhat similar pattern, but easily distinguish- 

 able by its prominent white head and collar.
