Moss Forest Camp, 2600 — 2800 m, October 9— November 6, 1938 
(holotype, male). Sigi Camp, 1500 m, February 24, 1939. Two specimens.

olvog = wine, ygatpco = to draw 
$ 17 mm. Head and thorax whitish densely suffused, mixed and streaked 
longitudinally with dark wine-red, thorax less suffused posteriorly. Palpus 
fuscous-wine-red, basal segment and base of median segment below white. 
Abdomen light greyish, becoming darker fuscous-grey posteriorly. Legs 
whitish tinged pale fuscous, anterior and median tibia and tarsus banded 
with fuscous. Fore wing elongate-triangular, rather narrow, dilated; costa 
gradually but little curved, apex obtuse; termen sinuate, considerably 
oblique. White, partially finely irrorated and suffused with fuscous, tinged 
wine-red, posterior half densely evenly suffused with greyish-fuscous, 
tinged wine-red, markings fuscous-wine-red. .Base of costal edge dark 
fuscous-wine-red, a triangular suffused patch on 1 / 4 of costa, below with 
a few narrow transverse strigulae; anterior 4 / 5 of dorsum with a streak of 
dark fuscous-wine-red suffusion, narrow anteriorly, with an angular 
projection above before 1 / 3 of dorsum, almost connected with the above 
mentioned costal mark, thence gradually narrowed posteriorly; a narrow 
dark fuscous-wine-red streak from middle of costa to 4 / 6 of dorsum, 
strongly angulate in middle, with a rounded patch of blackish scales on 
end of cell, lower fourth sinuate; preceded by ill-defined dark grey 
transverse strigulation in disc; a short almost blackish inwardly oblique 
transverse streak above fold from middle of disc to fold at middle of wing ; 
a large regularly Y-shaped, deep brownish-wine-red mark before termen, 
slightly inwards-oblique, stalk from dorsum before tornus to vein 4, 
anterior arm concave, its upper half parallel to preceding transverse streak, 
running to costa beyond middle, almost connected with that streak above 
middle of wing, posterior arm more oblique than terminal edge, to vein 8, 
thence furcate: anterior branch gradually and strongly curved, merging 
in anterior arm of Y between veins 9 — 10, with two short vertical off-shoots 
from its middle to costa, posterior branch to apex, a dot before this 
branch on costa; a narrow vertical short line between transverse streak 
and stalk of Y-shaped mark on dorsum ; costal fourth of wing posteriorly
