segment tending to break into spots ; orbicular dot-like, discal 
reduced to two or three scales; subterminal represented by five 
small dots on upper |, second of these rather larger and placed 
further from termen : cilia whitish with grey reflections, basal third 
yellowish. Hindwings ochreous-yellow; second and subterminal 
lines as in forewings, but a minute dot between segments of second, 
and two additional dots of subterminal towards tornus; cilia as in

This extraordinary species has the aspect of a Plusiad, and would 
never be recognised as a Pyrale from superficial appearance. The 
resemblance is accurately maintained in the hindwings, which are 
doubtless concealed in the position of rest instead of displayed.
