 angle of discocellulars ; 6, 7 from upper angle, the upper part of cell 

 short ; 8 free from base approximated to 7 beyond the cell and con- 

 nected with the cell by a bar beyond middle.

^ Head and thorax black mixed with a few white hairs ; palpi 

 with orange hair at extremity ; antennae with the tufts of hair on 

 basal joint orange ; femora and tibia? with some orange hair; abdomen 

 black with dorsal orange bands and the extremity orange ; broad

 extremities. Forewing black ; a yellowish white streak below base 

 of costa ; a triangular patch in cell extending to near its extremity ; 

 a triangular patch in submedian interspaces from base to origin of 

 vein 2 ; a streak on inner area from near base to middle ; a spot 

 beyond the cell intersected by vein 5 ; a small spot below base of 

 vein 4 and larger spots below veins 3 and 2 ; a subterminal series of 

 seven spots, incurved and the spots elongate towards costa. Hind wing 

 yellowish white from base to beyond middle except on costal area ;
