stripe and a rosy marginal band, which do not extend to the tip ; a 

 rosy middle band, which is more oblique than the marginal one. 

 Hind wings white. Length of the body 3^ lines ; of the wings 

 8 lines.

 present be included in that genus. In the colour of the wings 

 it resembles the Rhodarice.
