fuscous at base along basal £ of costa, along dorsum except 
posteriorly, along termen, and slightly on costa at |; a triangular 
white blotch with some irregular fuscous strigulation on costa near 
middle, reaching lower margin of cell, containing a blackish dot 
near its apex, a median dorsal blotch of grey suffusion strigulated 
blackish almost reaching this (cilia imperfect). Hindwings light 
grey-brownish, with indistinct fine or minute dark grey strigulation, 
dorsal area suffused white, costal area suffused white from base to §,

towards base beneath. Forewings as in cancellalis ; dark purple- 
fuscous ; markings subhyaline fuscous-whitish, tinged purple, dark- 
edged in disc ; lines forming slender irregular streaks, first at 
direct, not reaching costa, second from costa at f direct to vein 5, 
irregularly thickened in disc, then with an excurved more posterior 
segment from 5 to 2, thence abruptly broken inwards to beneath 
origin of 3 and continued direct to dorsum ; a transverse or lunulate 
spot beyond cell nearly adjoining second line, and a transverse- 
oblong spot midway between this and first line, with a quadrate 
spot nearly adjoining it beneath : cilia uniform grey, a grey-whitish 
tornal spot. Hindwings subhyaline purple-whitish; a dark purplish-

S 2 • 10-11 mm. Head, thorax white. Palpi dark fuscous. 
Forewings white ; a fascia of brownish suffusion near base ; lines 
formed of dark brown irroration, first rather excurved, somewhat 
oblique, second from costa at bisinuate to near tornus, then very 
sharply angulated inwards to beneath discal spot, and again 
rectangularly to about middle of dorsum ; orbicular and discal spots 
forming respectively rounded and quadrate blotches of brown 
suffusion edged darker; three small dark brown spots on costa 
between lines; a more or less developed brown terminal fascia; 
a black terminal line : cilia white, tinged brownish towards tips, an 
interrupted dark brown antemedian line. Hindwings as forewings, 
but basal markings less developed, no costal spots.
