in the middle with a black character like the figure 7 ; posterior wings cinereous ; 
abdomen pink. Expanse of the wings, 3^ inches. 
Donovan states that he received this nondescript species from Madras. As it 
agrees with our common moth, the black arches (Ps. Monacha) in its general character, 
and in the peculiar pink colouring of the abdomen, I have placed it in the genus of 
which that species is the type. In the markings of the wings, however, it seems to 
make a nearer approach to the tussock moths.
