it a very warm red coloration ; a blackish cell-spot feebly expressed in 
the type $, distinct in another $, obsolete in the other examples (which, 
however, are worn) ; an oblique ochreous or yellowish line from hind- 
margin at 7 or 8 mm., running almost straight towards apex but slightly 
incurved after passing R 1 , reaching costa at about 2 mm. from apex or 
becoming nearly obsolete ; fringe more purplish, darker (in one example 
mostly blackish) distally. Hindwing bright orange-ochreous, unmarked, 
in some lights showing faint traces of a paler median line ; fringe tinged 
with crimson, at least distally. Under surface ochreous, with costal and 
distal margins and apical regions more red dish-tinged ; fringes as above.

$ $, 29-32 mm. Head and palpus red-brown or purple-brown, the 
latter mixed with bright deep ochre. Antennal shaft reddish, pectinations 
in £ moderately long ; $ antennal subserrate. Thorax and abdomen 
ooncolorous with wings. Legs light-brown, slightly dark-speckled, fore coxa 
.and tibia mostly red- brown. Forewing with costa straight except at base 
and apex, termen in $ slightly, in $ more markedly bent in middle ; 
red-brown or purple-brown (variable in colour), slightly sprinkled with 
grey or glaucous-grey speckles or strigulae ; lines fine, pale glaucous-grey 
or whitish ; antemedian from costa at slightly beyond one-fourth, outbent 
or curved at first, then about vertical to hind margin at one-third, rarely 
very distinct throughout ; accompanied proximally (sometimes partly 
obscured) by a narrow grey shade, distally by a very fine line a little darker 
than the ground-colour ; postmedian from costa 2 or 3 mm. before apex, 
parallel with termen about to M 1 , then slightly curved basewards ; 
accompanied proximally by a very fine line rather darker than the 
ground-colour, or ill-defined shading, distally by elongate grey spots, 
separated by the veins (occasionally quite indistinct), the ones between 
M 2 and hind margin often enlarged cell-spot rather large, oval, dark grey, 
sometimes slightly paler in middle ; fringe, except a pale line at its base, 
concolorous with wing. Hindwing rather paler, with small discal dot and 
whitish postmedian line, broadest and most distinct on inner-marginal 
half, where it is faintly incurved and often accompanied by a grey line 
proximally and sometimes by a small grey blotch distally. Under surface 
always reddish, with coarse grey speckles, usually reddest towards margins 
(except hind margin of forewing) ; discal dots usually indicated, postmedian 
sometimes vaguely traceable.
