35 
posteriorly, apex prominently rounded, termen scarcely sinuate, little 
oblique. Fuscous-lilac-grey, glossy, suffused and marked with dull dark 
brown , markings narrowly edged with deep oehreous. Costal edge narrowly 
ochreous, anterior half of costa with moderate transverse streaks, alter- 
nating with two-three small dots; a large cloudy, posteriorly ill-defined 
triangular spot along apical half of costa to before apex, densely scattered 
with about four rounded glossy leaden-grey dots, larger similar dots 
along costa; top of this triangular spot somewhat rounded-clavate, 
reaching to disc beyond cell, followed by a small sharply edged inwardly 
oblique, erect-ovate pinkish spot; this spot constricted below middle and 
followed by deep brown suffusion reaching halfway towards termen and 
tornus; the latter finely transversely strigulated with ferruginous; a large 
tooth-shaped triangular patch of ground colour on second fourth of 
dorsum, reaching above middle of disc, anterior edge deeply sinuate and 
preceded by a blackish brown suffusion above dorsum not reaching base 
of wing ; posterior edge of patch gradually curved, followed by a transverse 
oblique broad streak of ferruginous-brown suffusion from 1 /. J of wing to 
above dorsum, dorsum faintly suffused with dark grey. Cilia deep fulvous, 
basal half slightly darker. Hind wing with veins 6 and 7 stalked; rather 
dark fuscous-grey; cilia lighter, greyish, with dark grey base and a narrow- 
light basal line, basal pencil of hairs dark grey, with base pale ochreous. 
Ostium and limen like those in preceding species, but limen in middle 
broader, less distinctly forming a rim. Collieulum longer, not dilated below. 
Cestum and signum absent (Slide No. 621 D, allotype). 
Mist Camp, 1800 m, January 9, 1939 (holotype, male), January 10, 1939

moderately ciliated in male (ciliations under 1 ), in female with one short 
cilium on each segment. Palpus moderately long in male, rather long in 
female, porrect, median segment sinuate, with rather smoothly appressed 
scales above, with projecting scales towards apex beneath, forming a 
wedge-shaped moderate tuft, terminal segment rather long, subclavate.

in male, without raised scale-tufts, lb furcate, 2 from slightly beyond 
middle, 3 from angle, 3—5 separate, equidistant, 5 parallel, 7 and 8 short- 
stalked, 7 to termen, 11 from slightly before middle. Hind wing without 
cubital pecten, with a long pencil of hairs on base of vein lb above, 2 from 
3 / b , 3 and 4 short-stalked in male, connate in female, from angle, 5 closely 
approximated at base, 6 and 7 short-stalked.
