brownish orange proximad of it, especially at costa and posterior margin of fore wing; terminal 

 fourth of fore wing irrorate with black between veins M x and M 3 ; broad, straight, antemedial 

 and medial and slender postmedial fasciae brownish orange marked on fore wing in some 

 examples; discal spots black, that on hind wing minute. Underside of non-hyaline terminal 

 area straw yellow sparsely irrorate with brownish orange ; dark markings of upperside represented 

 on underside by brown suffusion. 



<J genitalia (Text-figs 67, 68). Tip of uncus broadly rounded, almost truncate. Ventral 

 plate of gnathus broadly rounded. Dorsal process of valve cygnate, broadened at two-thirds, 

 then tapered. Apical fifth of dorsal surface of aedeagus scobinate. Fulcrum slender, tip 

 minutely spined. 



$ genitalia (PI. 15, figs 509, 510). Sterigma asymmetrical. Posterior fourth of corpus 

 bursae sclerotized. 



Measurements. Fore wing:^^ 11-13 mm. Antennal pectinations : <J 15 x, $2-5 x diameter 

 of shaft. 



Distinguished externally from psammites and ochrata by the presence of a smoothly 

 sinuous subterminal fascia and of the orange-brown area proximad of it; further 

 distinguished from ochrata by the reduction of dark marking on the underside of the 

 wings. Distinguished structurally from ochrata by the longer, almost truncate 

 uncus, the broader ventral plate of the gnathus and the form of the dorsal process 

 of the valve. In the female genitalia the form of the sterigma and of the sclerotized 

 posterior fourth of the corpus bursae are diagnostic. 



Distribution. Ethiopia, Kenya.
