 faint brown striga from costa with a brown point beyond it in cell ; 

 antemedial line indistinct, double, oblique from costa to median 

 iiervure, angled inwards in submedian fold, then very oblique and 

 the outer line joining the postmedial line above inner margin ; 

 claviform a red patch ; orbicular with ochreous annulus defined at 

 sides by red-brown, elliptical ; reniform an oblique bar with 

 ochreous line on its inner edge and its outer part red ; postmedial 

 line double, brown, oblique from costa to vein 5, then bent inwards 

 to below angle of cell and oblique to inner margin at antemedial 

 line, the inner line defined by grey on inner side from lower angle 

 of cell to where it joins the antemedial line ; subterniinal line 

 arising at vein 7, ochreous defined on each side by red, slightly 

 excurved to vein 3, then oblique ; a fine red-brown terminal line ; 

 cilia dark brown slightly mixed with grey. Hind wing ochreous 

 yellow ; the terminal part of vein 2 streaked with brown ; a faint 

 sinuous postmedial line and diffused subterrainal line from discal 

 fold to inner margin; termen greyish with fine red terminal line ;

 ochreous with the costal areas suffused with fiery red leaving the 

 costa of fore wing greyish ; fore wing with two dark discoidal spots, 

 brown postmedial line excurved to vein 5 then oblique, subterminal

 middle of frons and moderately scaled, the 3rd short ; frons smooth ; eyes 

 large, rounded ; antennas of male typically serrate and fasciculate ; head and 

 thorax clothed with hair only, the prothorax with triangular ridge-like crest, 

 the metathorax with paired crests ; abdomen with dorsal series of crests and
