Head smooth ; ocelli present ; tongue developed. Antennae £, in 
$ ciliated, basal joint elongate, with slight pecten. Labial palpi very 
long, recurved, with appressed scales, terminal joint longer than second, 
acute. Maxillary palpi very short, filiform, appressed to tongue. Posterior 
tibiae clothed with long hairs above. Forewings with 2 from towards

an almost basal fascia, on costa extending to 1, dilated downwards, on 
dorsum extending nearly to middle of wing ; a semioval patch extending 
nearly over median third of costa and reaching half across wing ; stigmata 
black, discal nearly approaching costal patch before and behind, plical 
beneath first discal, forming part of subbasal fascia ; an irregular terminal 
fascia, broadest on costa and narrowed downwards, extending over tornus 
to beneath middle of costal patch : cilia ochreous- whitish, towards tornus 
greyish-tinged, on costa dark fuscous. Hindwings grey ; cilia pale greyish.

base to band ; a white subdorsal line from 4 to band, converging to apex 
of median streak ; dorsal edge white from base to band ; a narrow pale 
ochreous-yellow median band, anterior edge marked with two pale golden- 
metallic spots, upper followed by a black dot and then by a fuscous mark 
interrupting band, posterior edge suffusedly margined with silvery followed
