dorsum.

rounded. Socius moderate, rounded, little pending. Gnathos slender, hook 
thickened. Transtilla complete, moderately broad, straight, little dilated 
laterally. Valva elongate, with costa somewhat concave, cucullus rounded,

7TVQ = fire, n/Jy/m = a net 
$ 14—17 mm. Head deep yellowish-ochreous mixed with fulvous, face 
fulvous. Palpus strongly dilated with roughly projecting scales; yellowish- 
ochreous, densely irrorated with fulvous except along upper and lower 
edge and at extreme tip. Antenna pale ochreous, scape mixed with fulvous- 
brown, flagellum ringed with fulvous-brown along basal sixth, with dark 
brown elsewhere. Thorax deep chestnut -brown, anteriorly and posteriorly 
suffused with orange-fulvous. Abdomen whitish -ochreous, basal segment 
white, anal tuft light ochreous. Legs pale yellow, anterior and median 
legs tinged with fulvous, suffused with deep chestnut-brown above, pale- 
ringed. Fore wing elongate, little dilated, costa curved anteriorly, straight 
posteriorly, apex subacute, termen faintly concave in middle, considerably 
oblique. Pale golden-ochreous, regularly densely marbled and retinate 
with bright fulvous-orange, markings deep ferruginous-brown. An oblique 
moderate streak from base of wing to costa beyond base; base of costa 
transversely strigulated with dark brown; a small transverse inwardly 
oblique mark on 1 / 6 of dorsum; a narrow straight transverse fascia from 
a / 5 of costa to dorsum before tornus, slightly extended along costa, 
abruptly narrowed along lower half, with a curved branch from above 
middle of its length to costa at 3 / 4 ; this branch continued along wing edge 
posteriorly so as to form a marginal fascia along costa, apex, termen, and 
in tornus, reaching to base of transverse fascia ; this marginal fascia rather 
narrow, slightly thickened along lower half of termen and in tornus; a 
transverse striga of denser orange retination from costa before apex to 
termen above middle; shining dark grey rounded moderate spots : one on 
transverse fascia below costa, two on its branch, and about three on 
marginal fascia in tornus. Cilia pale yellow, fulvous in apex, fuscous in 
tornus. Hind wing white, posterior half touched with pale yellowish, cilia 
white, basal half pale yellowish. 
Ostium slightly sclerotized. Limen narrow at the sides, membraneous
