the anterior tibiae. The body is blackish-brown, on the vertex, collar and
shoulder-covers striped orange; just so is the hairing of the abdominal base
and of the anal tuft. Forewing bluish-black, in the basal half with an
orange-yellow longitudinal streak and a distally dentate, light yellow,
postmedian transverse band. The hindwing is yellowish in the basal half.
