sometimes suffused with dark brown throughout, and well-defined; costal 
patch rather large, invert-trapezoid, occupying about third fourth of 
costa, with anterior angle on end of cell, with truncate top on vein 6; this 
costal patch dark leaden-grey, edged with black, marbled with blackish- 
brown, a minute pale ochreous median streak on costa; a rather faint 
suffused strongly outwardly curved brownish-greyish fascia from posterior 
angle of patch, running almost vertically to dorsum before tornus, some- 
times followed by a second subterminal vertical fascia, running to middle 
of disc; sometimes tornal markings reduced to greyish-brown retination; 
two blackish dots on costa (extending over cilia) before apex; terminal 
margin narrowly edged with dark brown, dorsum often with moderate 
blackish longitudinal marginal streaks. Cilia bright ochreous, in tornus 
paler, barred with blackish -brown. Hind wing pale ochreous-brownish, 
faintly marbled with dark grey ; cilia glossy greyish-ochreous with a sub- 
basal series of faint grey blotches, one small apical blotch on costa before 
apex. 
Ostium flattened. Limen moderately broad, narrowed in middle, colli- 
culum narrow, cylindrical, narrowed above and below. Ductus bursae 
narrow, rather long. Bursa copulatrix elongate-ovoid, without signum 
(Slide No. 486 D, holotype).

spot, shoulder mixed with light brown. Abdomen ochreous-grey, anal 
segment dark brown, anal tuft ochreous. Legs dark fuscous, tarsi light- 
ringed, posterior femur and tibia greyish-ochreous. Fore wing elongate, 
dilated, costa considerably curved anteriorly, sinuate posteriorly, apex 
subacute, projecting, termen strongly sinuate above, rounded and pro- 
jecting beneath, rather strongly oblique. Pale whitish-ochreous, on basal 
fourth suffused with rather bright ochreous, on terminal fourth suffused

dots continued by faint suffused, curved, brownish and ochreous transverse 
strigulae across wing; central fascia moderately broad, from 2 / 5 of costa 
to a / 3 of dorsum, narrowed above middle, obscured by a large brownish 
ochreous, and lilac suffusion on lower ®/ 4 of wing, extending over 3 / s of 
dorsum, with anterior edge formed by a dark brown curved fascia, dilated 
on dorsum; wing transversely strigulated with moderate glossy dark grey 
striae, beyond central fascia strigulated with dark fuscous and lilac- 
greyish; this area edged by an outwardly oblique, dark brown transverse
