 by a well defined ochreous band beginning almost at the anterior margin 

 and extending in a curve to the inner margin. There is a marginal hand

 from the base to the apex, a narrow bar passes from the costa toward the 

 inner angle, stopping half way across the wing. Two-thirds the distance 

 from the base to the angle a small narrow bar extends from the inner 

 margin towards the apex, one-fourth the distance to the apex. A small 

 well defined spot appears at the inner angle ; also one in the middle of 

 the exterior margin. Lower wings. One third the distance from the base 

 to the apex, a bar extends from the anterior margin to the inner margin. 

 Two-thirds the distance from the base to the apex, another bar passes
