Antennae brown. Body and wings dull reddish-brown ; hind wings 

 at base and both wings beneath reddish-ochreous. Head and thorax brown ; 

 abdomen becoming ochreous at the tip. Fore wings uniformly dull rust-red 

 brown, except a broad, mesial, dull, ochreous shade, which is slightly oblique but 

 straight on the outer side and regularly curved within, and a third or a half wider 

 on the costa than the inner edge ; this shade speckled with brown and brown on 

 the costa. Hind wings deep ochreous at base; just beyond the large, distinct, 

 discal dot, several times larger than on the fore wings, is a single, dark-brown, 

 sinuate line, beyond which the wing is brown, but toward the apex dull ochre- 

 ous. Fringe brown. Beneath, deep reddish-ochreous, densely and coarsely 

 speckled, with a common dull-brown line, diffuse and dilated in the middle 

 on the hind wings. The female is much larger, the mesial shade much fainter, 

 being nearly as brown as the rest of the wing, while the two lines bounding 

 it are clearer, being brown, edged narrowly with deep ochreous. More coarsely 

 speckled beneath than in the male.
