tennae stout, bi-fasciculate ciliate, dark brown above, ringed with 

 white. Thorax broadly banded across front with dark brown, behind 

 which there is a central patch of clear white scales, more distinct in 

 front, extending over the scutellar region. Primaries ample, a little 

 extended apically, above a golden brown, with cross lines and veinings 

 of dark brown and black. Discal dots round moderately large, distinct, 

 black. The dark basal area, is succeeded by a paler space centrally, 

 crossed by a suffused dark line. A geminate pale line precedes the 

 discal line, which is broad at costa crosses it with a gentle curve, then 

 at median vein, makes a sharp angle toward discal dot, receding and 

 becoming a straight hair line below to middle of inner margin. Three 

 or four fine lines sub-parallel to this cross discal space, darkening it 

 somewhat, the outer one forming the extra discal, hardly darker than 

 the others, and less sharply angled below costa. The pale geminate 

 line is broad, rather clearly defined. Subterminal space veined with 

 dark brown and black and having a sprinkling of white scales apically, 

 is divided centrally by a clear white much broken line, with a large 

 spot between veins 3 and 4 and at vein i, terminating in a sharply de- 

 fined V. Marginal line on all wings heavy black, broadly broken at 

 veins inwardly crescentic between them. Fringes on all 9 wings long 

 silken yellowish brown, cut with dark spots at end of veins. Second- 

 aries pale yellowish ashen. The inner margin broadly overlaid with 

 color of primaries, less distinctly so along outer border. A few dark- 

 brown cross lines and the geminate pale line, show at inner margin 

 but all disappear before reaching center, except the two at base which 

 faintly reach the costal margin in direct lines. Discal dots large, dusky, 

 blurred. Abdomen clothed with rough dark and yellow brown scales. 

 Segments at terminal margin narrowly edged with white. Tufts not 

 apparent. A narrow black lateral line on second and third segments. 

 Beneath dusky yellowish ashen, darker on primaries. Two pale gemin- 

 ate lines start from costa on either side of the jet black linear discal 

 dot, and merge below it into a single line, running straight to inner 

 margin. Outside the dark brown extra discal which outwardly mar- 

 gins the pale lines mentioned, and is quite well marked the usual 

 geminate pale line, as above, is clearly defined and runs across wing 

 with a gentle outward curve below costa. The inception of the dark 

 lines is heavy, almost black at costa. The subterminal space has a 

 series of pale lateral dashes through it. On secondaries three dusky 

 brown lines cross wing within the black linear discal spot. The fourth 

 is more waved and darker, and just passes the lower point of the dis- 

 ral spot. At costa it has a dusky diffuse brown spot, and is quite well 

 marked at inner margin. Outside this is the broad geminate pale band, 

 its outer margin curved outward to parrallel border of wing, and indi-
