This species is possibly not a true Bleptina, the second joint of the 

 palpus being shorter than in hadenalis Moore, the fore wing somewhat 

 shorter and the hind wing slightly more ample ; in other respects it

 India."

Palpus above, head and antennal shaft pale greyish-brown ; palpus 

 beneath and thorax bright tawny-brown ; abdomen above whitish ; 

 abdomen beneath, pectus, and legs grey, the tarsi broadly banded with 

 fuscous. 



Fore wing white, thickly irrorated with bright tawny- brown and 

 blackish, the brown predominant at costa and on veins, the blackish in 

 and below cell, the subterminal area predominantly tawny-brown, with 

 horizontal dark dashes between the veins, an oblique black dash from 

 apex and slight indications of a fine black line close to termen ; some 

 dark shading behind M at base. Antemedial line indistinct, blackish, 

 defined on each side by tawny, very oblique from costa to M, then 

 inwardly oblique from M distinctly nearer base ; a rhomboidal white 

 spot in cell near antemedial line ; postmedial line white, oblique, from 

 nearly two-thirds costa to inner margin at middle, slightly incurved at 

 cell, proximally defined by tawny, distally by blackish (especially at

 thicker again ; a subapical white patch before the black streak (with the
