 nigricante fasciatus ; thorax rufescente-cervinus ; alee fusco 

 subconspersa, extus rufescente-cervinm, linea exterior e cinerea 

 distincta subundulata costam versus valde flexa, submarginali

Female. Whitish cinereous. Third joint of the palpi linear, 

 whitish, with a blackish band. Thorax reddish fawn-colour. 

 Wings slightly and minutely speckled with brown; exterior part 

 mostly reddish fawn-colour ; exterior line cinereous, distinct, 

 slightly undulating, much bent inward towards the costa ; submar- 

 ginal line denticulated, very indistinct, except towards the costa, 

 where it is dilated and distinct ; marginal points black ; marginal 

 line brown ; exterior border slightly bent, not denticulated. Fore 

 wings with a reddish fawn-coloured band near the base, bounded 

 on the outer side by the cinereous interior line, which is hardly un- 

 dulating. Hind wings with a dark brown mark near the interior 

 angle. Length of the body 5 lines ; of the wings 12 lines.
