buff, sulphur yellow, avellaneous, fuscous and bone brown mixed, the tegula 

 streaked with whitish* Abdomen dorsally and ventrally similarly coloured, 

 with hardly any whitish, and with traces of fuscous black distally on most 

 segments dorsally, more pronounced on basal segments. Pectus cartridge buff, 

 shaded brownish drab below eyes. Legs cartridge buff, irrorated with fuscous, 

 densely in case of foreleg. Fore wing fuscous extensively suffused with whitish, 

 except along costa and between postmedial fascia and termen below vein M 2 ; 

 some sulphur yellow scales sub-basally below costa ; antemedial fascia commenc- 

 ing below cell, consisting of an inwardly oblique line of velvety bone brown 

 scales preceded by sulphur yellow shading, and succeeded by a patch of fuscous 

 shading with a few sulphur scales near inner margin ; discocellulars marked 

 with velvety bone brown, with traces of an oblique fuscous medial fascia from 

 end of cell to middle of inner margin ; postmedial fascia sulphur yellow, starting 

 on costa in direction of tornus, but immediately sweeping out suddenly towards 

 termen in a deep loop, the lower arm of which runs back towards the cell along 

 vein. Mo , suddenly bending when opposite its costal commencement and running 

 obliquely and straight to inner margin ; the loop is edged proximally with 

 velvety bone brown, the oblique portion of the postmedial fascia being edged 

 proximally with fuscous, its distal edge being entirely velvety bone brown except 

 for about 2 mm. from the costa ; a triangular fuscous shade immediately beyond 

 postmedial with base on inner margin ; the whitish suffusion very pronounced 

 beyond loop of postmedial, leaving an oval fuscous spot just before apex, and 

 accentuating a fuscous shade between veins M 2 and Cui ; a sinuous subterminal 

 fascia, not very distinct, from postmedial loop to inner margin ; a pre-terminal 

 velvety bone brown line parallel with a similar terminal line ; fringe fuscous, 

 chequered with cartridge buff triangles at vein-ends, the apices of the triangles 

 directed, distad but not quite reaching the edge of the fringe. Hind wing 

 cartridge buff heavily shaded with fuscous, especially in distal half ; an indefinite 

 sinuous medial fascia, beyond which the fuscous shading increases to form a 

 broad fascia postmedially to subterminally ; two conspicuous confluent patches 

 of cartridge buff before the termen, one on each side of vein Cu 2 , with between 

 them a small patch of light buff scales outlined with bone brown, marking the 

 end of the velvety bone brown pre-terminal line, some whitish irroration between 

 veins Sc and M 2 , before the termen ; terminal line velvety bone brown ; fringe
