Body and fore wings rather dark ochreous yellow. Fore wings 

 with an oblique silvery band, inclined towards the base of the 

 wings, from the costa to the middle of the inner margin, and 

 toothed toward the base on the sub-median nervure or fold. A 

 rather faint reddish-brown line extends from the costal origin of 

 the silvery band to the hind margin beneath the middle. Hind 

 wings pale ochreous yellow. Abdomen rather reddish ochreous. 



Larva. Outline elliptical, somewhat pointed behind ; body flat- 

 tened, with the sides curving from a central ridge, flattened above. 

 The ridge has a vertical elevation at its sides, growing less and 

 less before and behind, and terminates in front in a rounded margin, 

 and behind in an obtuse short spine. The body is smooth, with 

 no distinct spined papulae, but the edges of the ridge and the out- 

 line of the body are thrown into folds, sub-crenated. The body is 

 thickest in the middle, whence it curves anteriorly and posteriorly.
