On the upper surface having the general appearance of a female of the genus Osmodes, to which genus, however, it plainly cannot be referred, owing to the form of the palpi, which are more nearly those of the genus Kedestes. The palpi, head, thorax, and abdomen are black. On the underside the palpi are ochraceous, and the lower side of the abdomen is ochraceous. The primaries are black, marked with two moderately large subapical yellow spots in the usual position, two small confluent yellow spots at the end of the cell, and three moderately large discal yellow spots forming a diminishing series extending from intervals 1 to 3 below the cell. The secondaries are crossed beyond the cell on the middle by a broad curved yellow discal band, diminishing inwardly toward the base. The primaries have the costal margin and the apex broadly ochraceous. The cell and the lower half of the wing are broadly black, upon which the two spots at the end of the cell and the three forming the discal transverse series on the upperside reappear sharply defined against the dark ground. The secondaries are uniformly pale greenish-ochraceous, marked by a few distinct round black spots, one on the cell near its upper margin between veins 6 and 7 beyond the end of the cell, one on either side of vein 3 halfway between the cell and the outer margin, one on interval 1 below the cell near the base, a larger one on the same interval halfway between the base and the outer margin.
