with a black dot on it, and angled outwards below it; cellspot blackish; median line redbrown, strongly 
angled outwards below costa to near outer line, then very oblique; outer line redbrown, angled outwards below 
costa and met at the angle by a blackish shade from apex, minutely dentate and incurved below vein 4; 
subterminal line consisting of small black dentate marks; fringe rufous; hindwing similar; — in ab. 
pallescens ab. nov. (== ab. 1 Hmps.) (22 a) the wings are whitish ochreous with very slight rufous irroration. pallescens. 
The larva is ochreous brown and pupates in a dark brown cocoon. The Tenimber Islands and Queensland.
