rrimarics hyaline ; the Lasal third is blackish, as also is the costa, the broad outer niar<?inal border, 

 and the ncuration ; the basal area is limited by a white band which becomes hyaline on its 

 outer edge, and is followed by a blaclvi>>h band decreasing in width towards inner margin. 

 Secondaries black with a white band extending from middle of costa to the centre of the 

 wing. Under surfice as above, but the basal area of both wings is greyish, the pale band of 

 primaries is almost entirely hyaline, and that of secondaries greyish; on the anal half of 

 secondaries there are three greyish spots, and from the upper two of these there are indica- 

 tions of greyish bauds traversing the wing in the direction of outer margin. 



Expanse 40-45 millim.
