on the cell, a minute white oblique costal streak at the commencement of the costal cilia, and a large 
snow-white semicircular tornal patch extending through the terminal cilia and sparsely sprinkled 
with brownish scales; cilia at the apex dark brown. Hep. al.15 mm. Hindwings pale purplish

purplish fuscous, with a very narrow, pale cream-ochreous, straight, transverse band at the extreme 
base, and an elongate-ovate white patch, sparsely dusted with fuscous, occupying the tornus and termen, 
with the cilia, to below the apex, near which it encloses a dark fuscous dot; the cilia at the extreme 
apex and above it smoky fuscous; a blackish dot occurs on the disc, above the middle, at scarcely 
one-half from the base. EHxp.al. 14 mm. AHindwings grey; cilia pale brownish grey. Abdomen
