margin below the apex. Hindwing the same, with a narrow bent median band edged witli dark inside, some¬ 
what undulatingly edged outside. On either side of it paler with brownish ochreous scales which are condensed

the median vein is strongly bent upward. Vein 5 below the upper cell-angle, 6 + 7 and 8 + 9 stalked. Hind¬ 
wing very small, pointed at the apex, cut out at the anal angle, the inner margin shortened and wrinkled. Veins
