Male. Red, stout, cinereous-ved beneath. Frontal tuft por- 

 rec% acute. Palpi pubescent, rather slender, obliquely ascending, 

 rising much higher than the vertex ; third joint linear, cinereous, 

 brown-speckled, much shorter than the second. Antennae minutely 

 setulose. Abdomen not extending beyond the hind wings; apical 

 tuft very small. Legs stout, pubescent; fore tibiae cinereous, with 

 two brown bands; tarsi brown, their joints with cinereous tips. 

 Wings elongate, with a straight bright red line, which is cinereous- 

 bordered on the outer side, and proceeds from three-fourths of the 

 length of the interior border of the hind wings to a short space from 

 the tips of the fore wings, where it is abruptly retracted and forms 

 a curved line from thence to the costa ; submarginal line nearly 

 straight, composed of elongated black points ; marginal festoon 

 blackish ; under side with a blackish dot, which represents the reni- 

 form mark. Fore wings acute, with two indistinct zigzag deep red 

 lines; first line on the inner side of the orbicular mark, which forms 

 a cinereous brown-bordered dot ; second on the inner side of the 

 reniform, which is very indistinct, with the exception of a blackish 

 point at its hind end. Length of the body 9 lines ; of the wings 

 22 lines.
