The antennae of the male are 32-jointed, each of the fourteen basal 

 joints emitting four rays, the second ray in one joint and the first of 

 the following joint being close together, and only gaping at the tip : one- 

 third of the antennae at the tip is simple ; the rays are set on at right 

 angles, lying flat. The antennae of the female are very shortly pec- 

 tinated on each side, except about one-fourth of the length at the tip. 

 The veins of the wings differ from those of the typical Saturnice in 

 having the outer branch of the post-costal vein arising from the middle 

 of the transverse veinlet which closes the discoidal cell, and the two 

 small vitreous spots, forming the angulated spot above described, rest 

 on the outside of the veinlet, being divided from each other by the 

 outer branch of the post-costal vein.

The fore-wings of the male are rather narrow and very much hooked 

 at the tip, and angulated beyond the middle of the costa, fulvous 

 brown, palest along the fore-margin, with a rather broad, very oblique 

 fascia a little beyond the middle of the wing, of a rich chestnut colour, 

 shaded to purplish towards the costa ; nearly straight along the fore- 

 edge, but much-arched on the outer margin, both edges being marked 

 with a pale, slender, buff line : beyond the middle of the fore-wing is 

 a large, irregular, somewhat trilobed vitreous spot, outwardly edged 

 with a dark line, and succeeded by a pale buff one. The apical por- 

 tion of the wing beyond the fascia is fulvous buff, shaded to brown in 

 the middle, and to purple. There is also a small dark dot in the 

 middle of the costa. 



The hind-wings are fulvous, the middle with a darker oblique fascia 

 tinged with purple, with a pale line on each side ; the outer margin 

 curved, and in the middle of this fascia is a small lunate vitreous spot. 



The female has the fore-wings slightly waved along the outer mar- 

 gin : the general colour of the wings is darker and more ashy than in 

 the male, the fulvous colour replaced by ashy brown.
