of the fore wings is rather fuller, but the palpi and form of the body arc the 

 same. Body brown. Fore wings brown, with very distinct white bands and 

 lines: a basal, broad, dark band, benl at right angles below the costaj beyond 

 is a wider brown space, succeeded by a thread-like, wavy, while line, the 

 largest wave being in the discal space; beyond this is a broad blackish band, 

 and beyond an equally broad, pure-white band, inclosing a round, black, 

 rather distinct discal dot ; half-way between the white band and the outer 

 edge is a zigzag white line, bent at nearly right angles below the costa, and 

 curved outward in the middle of the wing, with several joints in the curve; 

 the sinus in the discal space is fdled with a large black blotch; a black, 

 oblique, apical line, quite distinct; a marginal row of black dots; fringe pale, 

 checkered with dark. Hind wings subacute, of a soft, decided cream-color, 

 with no lines, but a small discal dot, and a submarginal row of black dots; 

 fringe concolorous with the rest of the wing; beneath, ochreous cream-color, 

 with four large, distinct, discal dots; an extradiscal line, more or less diffuse, 

 widening on the costa ; apical region brown, but the apex itself with a clear 

 triangular spot. Hind wings more clouded than the lore wings; two parallel 

 scalloped lines beyond the discal dots, and a submarginal line. 



Length of body, 9, 0.30; of fore wing, 9, 0.40; expanse of wings, 0.84
