Primaries pale greyish-brown, crossed from the costal margin to the inner margin by four narrow dark waved 
lines, the submarginal line being very indistinct, and with a yellowish-brown spot at the end of the cell ; 
secondaries uniform pale greyish-brown, the fringe brown (that of the primaries darker) ; the underside of 
both wings uniform pale brown and each with a rather wide indistinct submarginal dusky line extending 
from the costal margin to the inner margin: head and thorax greyish-brown, the abdomen slightly 
darker, the anus yellowish; antenne and legs pale brown. Hxpanse 1,8, inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége); Guatemana, Totonicapam 8500 to 10,500 feet, Las

Numerous examples of this insect were obtained by Mr. Champicn in Guatemala ; 
two only by Herr Hége at Jalapa. The description and figure are taken from one of 
the Mexican specimens.
