centre of vertex and between patagia; branches of antennae bone-brown (xl), 
of shaft, tilleul-buff (xl) ; abdomen cream colour tinged with drab (xlvi) ; fore 
wing sub-basal only represented by a few black scales; antemedial line black, 
rather sharply defined and erect, followed by a light coloured line of ground 
colour, very oblique below costa, then angled inwardly at cell and below lower 
median; medial line black, well defined, erect and preceded by some whitish 
scales, angled inwards along upper median, curved in and below cell and 
outwardly oblique beyond vein 1 b ; a long and narrow black stigma at end of 
cell, surrounded by a ring of ground colour; postmedial line erect, double, 
inner one diffused fuscous-black and followed by whitish scaling, outwardly 
oblique to stalk 7, 8, 9, then incurved between stalk and vein 4, then excurved 
at vein 3, incurved below vein 2 and angled outwardly at 1 b; a dark diffused 
sub-terminal shading from near apex to tornus and preceded by diffused light 
scaling, which begins along costa where there are two whitish points; the 
shading is irregularly dentate on the veins, incurved at vein 5 and excurved 
at 3 ; a distinct black terminal line from costa to 1 b, interrupted on the inner 
side by the veins ; cilia of ground colour. Hind wing of $ pure white, with a fine 
buffy-brown (xl) terminal line ; cilia white ; in the $ the hind wing is also pure 
white, but very thinly irrorated with fuscous and the terminal line is fuscous. 
Under side : fore wing uniform hair-brown (xlvi) , hind wing pure white in 
the $ has the medial line represented by dark irroration and the terminal half 
of the wing is irrorated with fuscous-black.

It is possible that a new genus has to be formed for this species, but as I 
have only one $, I place it provisionally here, though it differs from the typical 
species in the following points : palpi more densely scaled in front and less 
upturned; frons 'with a tuft of rather long hairs; antennae with the branches 
as long as thickness of shaft; fore wing with 7 from end of cell; hind wing with 
3 a little apart from 4 ; stalk of 6, 7 a little shorter and 8 connected with the 
upper median by a short bar at about middle; shape of fore wing still more 
like a Pyraline and hind wing more ample. 
$. Ground colour of head at sides, thorax, abdomen, legs and fore wing 
light mouse-grey (li) ; hind wing suffused with the same colour; palpi at sides 
sprinkled with white ; frons with a tuft of fuscous hairs (xlvi) ; patagia tipped 
with white scales ; fore wing with a fine sub-basai line, which is black and well 
defined, from obliquely inwards to upper median, then outwardly oblique below 
lower median, then curved inwards to vein ib; antemedial line black, well 
defined, very near to medial line, from costa erect to vein 11, then along this 
vein to upper median, then angled outwardly into the cell, then erect to near 
lower median, then obliquely inwards to origin of vein 2, then angled outwards 
below vein 2 and obliquely inwards to plical fold, then erect to inner margin; 
medial line broad, very diffused, erect from costa to inner margin; a dark, 
rounded stigma on discocellulars, partly filled in and surrounded with white 
scales; postmedial line double, black, with scales of ground colour before, 
between and beyond it ; from costa to vein 4 erect, second line indistinct from 
costa to vein 6; the two lines are very broad between 6 and 4, then thin again 
and oblique to vein 2 where the first line ends, the second line is continued as
