 sat robustum ; palporum articulus Sus 2i diniidio longior ; 

 alee lineis subobsoletis, linea obliqua distincta recta cervina 

 intus pallidiore nigricante punctata^ linea submarginali e 

 punctis nigricantibus, punctis marginalibus vix conspicuis ;

Female. Pale reddish fawn-colour, very minutely speckled 

 with black, more cinereous beneath. Body rather stout. Third 

 joint of the palpi somewhat shorter than the second. Wings with 

 the lines almost obsolete, excepting the oblique one, which is 

 straight, fawn-colour, paler and accompanied by blackish points ou 

 the inner side, extends from much beyond the middle of the inte- 

 rior border of the hind wings towards the subapical costa of the fore 

 wings; submarginal line indicated by blackish points; marginal 

 points very indistinct; under side without lines. Fore wings with 

 three pale costal subapical points; reniform mark rather narrow, a 

 little narrower than the ground hue. Length of the body 5^ lines ;

This differs much from T, sigillata, but may be merely a 

 variety of that species.
