The antennae of the male are rather small, with only 34 rays on 

 each side, thirteen of the apical joints being destitute of rays. The 

 palpi are small and distinct, rather dependent, but not extending be- 

 yond the hairs of the face.

 The palpi are distinct and slender, but do not extend beyond the 

 hairs of the clypeus. The antennae of the males have 54 rays on 

 each side, the two basal rays of each joint converging inwardly and 

 being bent more obliquely, • so that the tips of the rays form four 

 distinct rows ; all the rays are moreover set on more obliquely than 

 in the typical species. The antennae of the female are moderately 

 pectinated, the two apical rays of each joint being almost obliterated. 

 A beautiful figure of this species is given in Mr. Angas's plate of 

 Zoolu Moths, fig. 15.
