J Glistening dark-]0UTplc ; a Uach hind-marginal line ; cilia dull- 
grey^ slightly mixed ivith ivhitish. Hind-iving : close to hind-margin, 
between first median nervule and submedian nervure, an elongate 
black mark ; three caudal tufts, not very slender, dusky at bases, but 
thence whitish. Under side. — Pale greyish-brown^ with searcely darker, 
on hath sides thinly ivhitish-edged^ transverse strice. Fore-wing : no 
markings hefore middle ; terminal disco-cellular striola short, not pro-

discal stria submacular, slightly irregular, and curved superiorly, but

scarcely visible. JPind-wing : terminal disco-cellular striola well-

— the upper and larger one between second and first median nervules 
encircled (except externally) by an ochre-yellow edging, — the lower 
one, on each side of submedian nervure, edged interiorly with ochre- 
yellow, which extends a little along inner-marginal edge ; a sub-basal 
transverse row of three round spots in very thin whitish rings, of 
which the first and second (respectively near costa and in discoidal
