" Size of a moderately large cedipus*. Wings lobed, costa folded 

 over. Body and thorax blackish ; antennas the same. Palpi and 

 underside of the body light brownish. All four wings ochreous 

 (pierre de feu), the base sprinkled with dark atoms. 



" Front wings : in the middle two dark oblique streaks, between 

 them near the costa a darker angular line (upon which the discoidal 

 cell terminates), close to the outer margin a more slender bent line, 

 in front of the greyish fringe two parallel lines, all three dark reddish 

 brown. Hind wings : a darker oblique streak, anal angle much pro- 

 duced ; outer margin with its lower portion emarginate, with four 

 sinuations ; in front of the greyish fringe two sinuated brown bands, 

 a little further inwards a third broader and darker one ; between the 

 three lines the ground-colour is lighter ; at the inner angle in the 

 left wing two, in the right wing one black spot encircled with yellow ; 

 Underside grey, dusted with brown. Front wing : markings as above, 

 but more delicate ; both of the central lines doubled ; fringe and a 

 shade near the outer oblique line violet-brown. Hind wings the 

 same. The shade near the outer oblique line reaching from the costa 

 to near the middle of the wing continued near the outer margin by 

 six very small ocelli, the second and fifth of those within the cell have 

 slender silver pupils. All the fringe brown, darker than the ground- 

 colour." — Ent. Zeit.
