Imago. — Male. Upperside dark olivescent blackish-brown, bronzy in some 

 lights. Cilia broadly alternated with white. Foreiving with an indistinctly apparent 

 dusky-black inner-discal glandular fascia which is clothed with moderately-long 

 broadly-oval dentate-tipt pale scales, very long narrow foliate acutely dentate-tipt 

 scales, interspersed with long blackish androconia with lengthened bulbous base and 

 short hair-like end and tasselled tip ; across the disc is a series of well-separated 

 small white spots, with a divergent spot and slender streaks to the costa beyond the 

 cell, and with an intervening black spot between the radials. Hindwing crossed by a 

 slightly-recurved medial narrow sinuous-edged white band cut by the dark veins, the 

 contour of the outer edge of the band being somewhat angulated at the upper median 

 veinlet, and the entire band decreasing in width to the anal angle. Underside paler, 

 but brighter coloured, and of a more or less olivescent ochreous-brown. Forewing 

 with the costal and apical border thickly mottled with darker strig^ edged with 

 ochreous; discal band broader, duller in tone, and olivescent-white, more diffused 

 externally, the lower portion and the divergent portion each continuous, the subapical 

 black spot with white pupil and conspicuous. Eindiving densely mottled with brighter 

 olivescent-ochreous edged blackish transverse strigse, some of which at the end of 

 the veinlets are edged with cinereous white, the disc most clouded, and with a more 

 or less apparent series of three or four whitish spots ; medial transverse band 

 olivescent ochreous-white, broader than on upperside and more angulate externally. 



Female. Upperside. Forewing with the transverse series of spots somewhat 

 longitudinally narrower and elongated ; the band on the hindwing more regular in 

 its course, but of the same width as in male. Underside as in the male. 



Expanse, ^ 2| to 2f , ? 2f to 2| inches.
