Imago. — Male. Upperside greyisli- white ; basal area of fore wing glossy. 

 Fovewincj with the base of costal border thickly irrorated with grey-black scales, 

 these scales are also more or less scattered along upper area of the cell to the 

 discocellular black spot, the black then extending costally into a broad outer 

 marginal decreasing band, which latter ends abruptly at the lower median, and in 

 some specimens black scales are more or less scattered obliquely-inward to the 

 posterior margin, thus enclosing a white spot at the angle, similar to that in the 

 female, the anterior inner-edge of the band curves sinuously outward from the costal 

 border above end of the cell to ujDper median, below which it extends quadrately-inward 

 and then outward to the lower median, the band enclosing two small white subapical 

 obliquely-disposed spots, sometimes also an obscure upper spot, and a large angular 

 spot between the upper and middle median ; a more or less large black spot is also 

 present on the lower discocellular veinlet, this spot being generally slenderly or 

 broadly joined to the outer band along the upper median veinlet. Eindwing with a 

 black outer-marginal narrow band, which is almost macular, and, generally, with a 

 connecting submarginal zigzag series of blackish scales, extending inward from the 

 lower subcostal to the upper median, and in some these scales from thence are 

 obscurely and broadly scattered posteriorly. Underside. Foreiuing greyish-white, 

 the black discocellular spot and outer marginal band as on upperside, the band being 

 narrowed anteriorly, the apical area being ochreoiis-yellow ; from the lower end of 

 the band some distinctly-apparent blackish scales generally extend inward towards 

 the posterior margin. HindwiiK/ uniformly ochreous-yellow, with slightly apparent 

 blackish scaled submarginal zigzag slender fascia and a similar but less ajjparent 

 medial fascia ; a distinct black dot on the discocellular veinlet. 



Female. Upperside greyish- white. Furewing with the base of costa and basal 

 two-thirds of the cell dark grey-black scaled, the black outer border broader than in
