in middle, with triangular projections at its sides below. Ductus bursae 
rather short. Bursa copulatrix small, simple. Seventh ventrite somewhat 
sclerotized. Ovipositor subtubular : upper lobe narrowed, lower very

18 — 22 mm, $ 22 mm. Head white, vertex and antenna touched with 
pale ochreous, scape suffused with light grey, flagellum grey-ringed. 
Thorax pale ochreous-whitish, irrorated with pale grey, in male entirely 
suffused with greyish, except on patagium. Palpus white, suffused with 
grey laterally, except edge; terminal segment grey except tip. Abdomen 
pale whitish-ochreous in male, whitish in female. Legs white, anterior 
tibia and tarsus blackish, light-ringed. Fore wing with raised scales along 
veins, tufts present, rather broad; elongate-subovate, dilated, costa con- 
siderably curved throughout, less so posteriorly, faintly flattened in middle; 
apex subobtuse, termen very faintly sinuate, little oblique. Creamy-white, 
faintly touched with pale fulvous, except along dorsum and tornus, 
markings black, dark grey, light brownish-ochreous, and pale fuscous. 
Base of costa suffused with dark grey, with a transverse black mark 
slightly dilated above and below, mixed below with bright brown, and 
with a few ochreous scales; two transverse narrow streaks mixed with 
black scales on costa beyond this mark, to vein 12, continued by suffused 
brownish-ochreous narrow and very oblique streaks, interrupted on vein 
12: first streak short, second streak considerably dilated, irregularly mixed 
with ochreous and darker brown scales, running to fold somewhat beyond 
middle of wing; a moderate round spot of dark grey suffusion on costa 
before middle, with a black dot on costa, a smaller dot on its anterior, 
a minute dot on its posterior edge; this spot below slightly mixed with 
pale brownish scales; a slightly oblique elongate- quadrate black patch on 
middle of dorsum in male, formed by interconnected transverse coarse 
strigulation, reaching slightly above fold; this patch in female evenly 
black, erect-quadrate, slightly beyond middle of dorsum, reaching above 
almost to cell; in both sexes this patch connected with preceding oblique 
brownish-ochreous streak which ends in brownish-ochreous plical tuft; 
faint grey vertical transverse strigulae, rising from black dorsal patch 
posteriorly, dissolved in faint grey dotting towards costa; pale fulvous- 
ochreous ridges and tufts of raised scales; a transverse oblique ridge 
across cell preceding oblique ochreous-brownish streak and ending in 
plical tuft ; a less distinct ridge along upper edge of cell, ending in a tuft
