Fawn-colour, hoary beneath. Head and thorax hoary 

 along each side. Head white beneath. Thorax with three hoary 

 middle stripes, with two pale gilded lateral stripes, with two 

 pale gilded posterior spots, and with two silvery white exterior late- 

 ral stripes. Abdomen with alternate pale and dark streaks, and 

 adorned with three stripes of silvery white streaks. Fore wings 

 with very oblique silvery white discal streaks, with a posterior 

 silvery stripe, and with a silvery line, which extends along the in- 

 terior border, and is continued thence to the tip of the wing at a 

 short distance from the exterior border. Hind wing rosy, brightest 

 at the base, with two dark brown stripes, the discal one shorter and 

 broader than the other, which is submarginal. Length of the body 

 16 — 17 lines ; of the wings 28 — 30 lines.
