Q.. Palps yellowish brown, edged anteriorly with deep yellow; head uniformly deep yellow; 

 scape of antenna deep yellow, shaft yellowish brown. Patagia deep yellow, each with greyish 

 brown anterolateral spot and greyish brown posteromedial patch - the latter with greyish 

 yellow, longitudinal band in middle ; tegulae greyish brown, each with short transverse yellow 

 bar near anterior margin; with central longitudinal band (deep yellow anteriorly, greyish 

 yellow posteriorly), and edged on both sides with greyish yellow. Rest of thorax yellowish 

 brown dorsally, with medial, longitudinal greyish yellow band ; ventrally deep yellow anteriorly, 

 becoming greyish brown posteriorly. Forecoxa deep yellow, rest of leg yellowish brown, 

 edged on outer surface with greyish yellow; midcoxa greyish brown with some yellow on 

 front surface, mid-trochanter pale yellow, rest of leg yellowish brown, with greyish yellow on 

 front surface of each segment and on rear surface of femur; hind coxa, trochanter and femur 

 as for midleg; hind tibia mostly yellowish brown, but with greyish yellow front surface to 

 proximal third of tibia; inner surface of hind tarsus almost entirely greyish yellow; outer 

 surface of each segment yellowish brown distally, greyish yellow proximally; rest of tarsus 

 yellowish brown. Coloration of upper surface of forewing as for rutila; under surface also 

 similar, but with veins faintly marked with pale yellowish brown; both surfaces of hindwing 

 uniformly greyish brown. Upper surface of abdominal segment 1 and 2 greyish brown; 3-6 

 orange-yellow, with greyish brown dorsally on 3 and 4, and on anterior margin of 5 (this area 

 broad in 3, tapering to 5); segment 7 greyish brown; ventral surface of 2-6 orange-yellow 

 medially, greyish brown laterally; segment 7 greyish brown ventrally. 



Forewing length: lectotype ^ 22-0 mm, paralectotype $ 22-0 mm. 



§ genitalia. Similar to those of rutila, but ductus bursae narrower, and only slightly rugose 

 near middle which is noticeably more strongly constricted than in rutila. 



<J. Not known. 



Readily separable from rutila by the unicolorous yellow head, the differently 

 patterned patagia and by the uniformly brown hindwings. Distinguished from 

 fafner by the coloration of the head, forecoxae, patagia and tegulae. 



It can be predicted that the males of cingulata will prove to have a narrower 

 yellow fascia on the forewing than the females, as in rutila.
