$ $ (PL 98, fig. 869). Hyaline area of each wing densely irrorate with grey and black and 

 finely edged distally with black and silvery grey ; antemedial fascia on fore wing black ; medial 

 fascia, when marked, ill defined brownish orange and black; discal spot on fore wing silvery 

 grey outlined with black, that on hind wing black. Proximal fourth of fore wing and non- 

 hyaline terminal area of each wing yellowish brown irrorate with brownish orange, grey and 

 black; subterminal fascia silvery grey broadly bordered proximally with brownish orange. 

 Such typical examples may be distinguished by their colour and pattern. In paler examples, 

 which resemble deceptrix Warren, much of the brownish orange colour is wanting; males of such 

 examples may be distinguished externally by the dilate hind tibia. Rarely the proximal fourth 

 of the fore wing and the distal third of each wing are predominantly brownish orange. Under- 

 side of non-hyaline terminal area dark greyish brown. 



<$ genitalia (Text-figs 47, 48). Uncus, gnathus and valve similar to those of amicta and 

 ordinaria. Form of strongly cygnate, almost Z-shaped, dorsal process on valve diagnostic; 

 serrate-edged projection as broad as and parallel with middle third of process. Fulcrum one 

 and one-half times as long as aedeagus, apical half cygnate and tipped with 3—6 spines. 

 Aedeagus only weakly scobinate at one side in apical third. 



9 genitalia (PL 10, figs 489, 490). Sterigma asymmetrical as in amicta and ordinaria and 

 similarly variable in the precise form of the projection from the right-hand side of the lamella 

 postvaginalis. The boldly and deeply curved anterior margin of the sterigma is diagnostic.
