cJ. Palpus light buff, first segment and proximal half of second fuscous. 

 Antenna, head, thorax, abdomen and legs light buff. Forewing white ; proximal 

 half of costa broadly fuscous, distal half light buff ; a patch of light buff at base 

 of wing, edged distad by a fuscous line from costa at one-fourth to inner margin 

 at one-sixth, concave tornad ; distal third of wing mostly light orange yellow 

 or buff yellow, with two white wedges from costa reaching as far as vein Cuj 

 (tornad), both with their proximal edges fuscous, only the distal one fuscous 

 distally ; a semicircle reaching from just before middle of inner margin to tornus, 

 its periphery touching lower margin of cell, fuscous on the white ground of the 

 wing, opalescent on the buff yellow distal part ; within the semicircle a distinct 

 fuscous V-shaped mark, point distad, one arm nearly parallel with inner margin ; 

 fringe light buff. Hindwing white ; a patch of fuscous near base and inner 

 margin ; a short fuscous fascia at one-third, a longer one at one-half running 

 towards anal angle, near which there is an irregular patch of buff yellow ;

 middle of costa, a white lunule on discocellulars, with an indistinct extension 

 to inner margin at two-thirds ; a subterminal fascia oblique from costa at three- 

 fourths through radial veins, then twice bowed (concavity basad) to tornus ;
