tarsus black, white ringed (median legs missing). Fore wing elongate, 
narrow, dilated, broadest at 3 / 4 ; costa hardly curved at base, slightly bent 
at s / 4 ; apex rather narrow, rounded, projecting; termen strongly sinuate, 
oblique. Glossy white, faintly touched with greenish, irrorated with 
greenish-olive, less so towards middle of dorsum ; markings deep reddish- 
brown, edges partially suffused with blackish. Costa dotted throughout 
with dark brown; basal patch large, from before 1 / i of costa to beyond 1 / i 
of dorsum; edge of basal patch strongly angulate, convex above and 
beneath, with a subacute projection in middle reaching to well before 
middle of wing; edge of patch somewhat suffused with darker brown ; an 
irregular median mark: from costa before middle to cell, vertical, rather 
narrow, posterior lower angle erected so as to form a longitudinal streak, 
abruptly extended and filling posterior part of cell; posterior edge of mark 
sinuate, sharply black; lower edge of mark connected with a moderate 
longitudinal elongate-diamond-shaped spot on base of vein 3, with extre- 
mities narrowly erected respectively downward and upward; this spot 
tolerably parallel with lower margin of basal patch, edge partially suf- 
fused with black; a moderate elongate-ovate spot touching 3 / 4 of dorsum, 
connected above posteriorly with a larger subtriangular spot in disc well 
beyond cell between veins 2—5; both these spots not dark edged, former 
suffused with dark brown; a large patch in apex, with edge from before 
3 / 4 of costa, strongly sinuate; this patch convex above, concave beneath, 
running to termen above tornus; upper half of patch deep reddish-brown, 
lower slightly irrorated with whitish-olive; a narrow white marginal line 
along upper half of termen; about three double white transverse marks 
on costa; dorsal edge dotted with blackish; olive irroration forming a 
continuous vertical moderate blotch in tornus, slightly edged with blackish

rosy-ochreous, except along basal third. Hind wing light grey, paler 
towards dorsum, suffused with darker grey towards apex; cilia sordid 
whitish. 
Female genitalia much like those in the preceding species. Limen larger. 
Ostium larger. Ductus bursae shorter. Cestum much longer. Eighth 
tergite erected and subtubular. Otherwise similar to preceding (Slide No. 
807 D, type).
