Male and female. Whitish. Abdomen crested. Wings with 

 very minute pale reddish speckles, which are most prevalent along 

 the white zigzag submarginal line ; exterior line brown, acutely 

 denticulated and black on each vein ; marginal points brown, larger 

 and lunulate in the hind wings ; under side luteous at the base, 

 with a black band, which is much narrower than that of H. distenta. 

 Fore wings with a brown undulating interior line. Hind wings 

 crested. Male. — Third joint of the palpi much shorter than the 

 second. Antennae slightly pectinated for two-thirds of the length. 

 Female. — Third joint of the palpi almost as long as the second. 

 Length of the body 5 — b\ lines ; of the wings 12 — 13 lines. 



This species hardly differs from the preceding one, except in 

 the narrower black band of the wings, in the colour of the exterior 

 line, and in the deeper curve which it forms towards the exterior 

 border of the fore wings .
