The course of these side stripes is very characteristic ; passing back from the head, they converge on the prothorax; on the mesothorax and metathorax they are separated from the dorsal line only by a narrow band of red or purple; on the first abdominal seg- ment they diverge to the lateral margin of the back, but converge again on the seventh and eighth abdominal seg- ments. This yellow subdorsal line is bordered without by a milk-white stripe; and extending from this stripe over the side of the body there is a whitish shade which fades out below. The moth is ash-colored, with the fore wings crossed by two wavy lines between which the wing is darker; be- tween the outer wavy line and the outer margin of the wing there is a faint band.
