Imago. — <£$. Upperside of thorax and terminal segments of 

 abdomen dark chocolate ; rest of abdomen ashy-pink, this 

 colour forming a broad, sharply-defined band and connecting, 

 when the moth is in the resting position, Avith a similarly 

 coloured, transverse, oblique band of the same width on the 

 upperside of each fore wing ; top of head and base of fore 

 wing similarly coloured ; base of fore wing crossed by a dentate 

 line and by three narrow dentate bands, all of the same colour 

 as the thorax, the outermost band the broadest and defining 

 the inner margin of the ashy-pink oblique medial band ; 

 a broad oblique chocolate band bordering the ashy-pink 

 median band on its outer side, nearly straight and sharply 

 defined at its junction with the ashy-pink band and gradually 

 shading, on its outer side, into an area of paler pink with 

 a yellow tinge ; two submarginal, chalky -white lines, excurved 

 strongly from the costa (where they start from small black 

 patches), and then incurved round a triangular, fuscous, 

 marginal patch between the ends of SC 5 and M 1 , finally dis- 

 appearing near the tornal angle, where there is a black ocellus- 

 like patch bordered internally by two chalky-white curved 

 lines ; three or four median, dentate, indistinct transverse 

 lines on the ashy-pink band, all chocolate in colour and more 

 clearly marked near the costa. 



Hind wing upperside flesh-colour, the outer area brown, with 

 antemedian, median and two postmedian black lines, the 

 veins in the brown area black. Underside of both wings 

 yellow ; the outer area of fore wing above M 1 rust- coloured, 

 the triangular marginal patch ashy-grey ; a straight median 

 and an excurved and dentate brown line, and some brown
