^ 12 mm. Head pale golden-ochreous, slightly infuscated at the sides 
of the vertex. Antenna pale ochreous, narrowly ringed with fuscous 
along the basal half above, fourth fifth fuscous, apical fifth witli 
two fuscous bands, scape infuscated. Palpus pale ochreous, terminal

Pale golden-ochreous, towards the base and the apex slightly suffused 
with deeper yellowish-ochreous. A semicircular basal patch occupying less 
than the basal fourth of the costa: pale fuscous, below the fold only poste- 
rior edge perceptible; this patch edged by a transverse streak of the 
ground colour, except towards the costa brighter yellowish-ochreous; 
four narrow, rather well-defined fuscous longitudinal lines, along their 
anterior half running parallel to the fold, originating from the basal patch 
but almost interrupted by the above mentioned transverse streak of the 
ground colour; first line subcostal, gently sinuate posteriorly, to the 
termen below the apex ; second, supraplical, slightly thickened posteriorly, 
ending in a longitudinal moderate patch along the middle of the termen ; 
third line plical, fourth , along vein lc, both narrow, converging in a 
moderate inwardly oblique suffused fuscous spot on the dorsum at the 
middle of the wing; about median third of the dorsum from below the 
fourth line, slightly infuscated. Cilia pale yellowish-ochreous^ along the 
lower part of the termen, in the tornus and along the dorsum, pale 
ochreous-fuscous. Hind wing glossy pale fuscous, cilia light fuscous. 
Uncus with a slender apical hook and strong sclerites at the sides of

third forming a slender hook. (Slide no. 1066 D, type.)
