Ma/c. Pale cinereous, slender. Head and thorax a little 
darker. Palpi slender, curved, slightly pilose, rising much higher 
than the vertex; third joint acute, much shorter than the second. 
Antennae minutely setose. Thorax pale fawn-colour. Fore wings 
acute, slightly pale fawn-colour along the costa; lines of the same 
hue; interior line straight; middle and exterior lines slight, undu- 
dulating, parallel ; a more exterior band, whose outer side is 
parallel to the deeply undulating submarginal line ; marginal 
points dark brown ; orbicular mark forming an indistinct ringlet; 
reniform represented by two dark brown points. Hind wings with 
less distinct lines. Length of the body 5 ? lines ; of the wings 
12 lines. 
This species is much allied to H, Pyramusalis , but may be dis* 
tinguisbed by the difference in the reniform mark, and more 
especially by the form of the submarginal line.
