Male. Pale ochraceous, more dull beneath. Palpi in structure 

 like those of the typical species. Antennae rather longer and more 

 slender. Hind tibiae slightly incrassated ; spurs of the usual form. 

 Wings thickly ochraceous-speckled ; discal lunule and two lines 

 deep red; marginal space purplish reddish. Fore wings with the 

 first line curved; second line hardly curved, emitting a reddish 

 streak from ils inner side to thecosta ; marginal space partly ochra- 

 ceous in front. Hind wings with the first line only apparent .by the 

 cosla. Length of the body 3J lines ; of the wings 9\ lines.

 of the hind tibiae, but can hardly be considered as belonging to a 

 distinct genus.
