 the first and second radial sectors. Hind wings pale, stigmal region 

 distinctly darker. The fore wings are fully two and one-fourth times 

 as long as broad, plainly broadest at middle, the costal region not very

 thorax yellowish brown, darker on the sides ; abdomen dark brown ; 

 antennae pale yellowish, not one-half as long as fore wings; legs pale 

 yellow, middle and hind tibiae fusiform, and each with a submedian 

 brown band. Fore wings very broad, hardly twice as long as broad, 

 costal area extremely broad at base, so that the wing is about as broad 

 at base as at middle ; color pale yellowish, but with an oblique brown 

 band across it, beyond middle on costa, and before middle on anal 

 margin ; the forks of many veins and some cross-veins are dark brown,

 and radius ; hind wings faintly smoky, stigma darker, veins brown. 

 Fore wings about two and a fourth times as long as broad, front and 

 hind margins sub-parallel, tip broadly rounded, costal area extremely
