spots, of which there are only six, the apical portion of the wing- Udt 

 possessing them; besides these there are three oval or round spots pre- 

 ceding them, towards the anal angle. The hind wings are brown, with 

 five cuneated pale patches extending from the anal margin, succeeded 

 by six lunate pale spots extending from the outer angle, and with five 

 fulvous incisural spots, the anal angle bearing a larger oval fulvous spot, 

 in which is a black dot. The fore wings on the under side are of a 

 paler brown color, but similarly marked beyond the middle ; the base 

 also with several pale dashes. The hind wings have the veins from 

 the base to beyond the middle edged with pale bufi"; halfway between 

 the discoidal cell and the hind martrin of the wing is a row of five white 

 crescents, shaded off into the grounrl color of the wing, and separated 

 by brown arches from a row of white horse-shoe marks, within which 

 are six large fulvous incisural marks : the base of all the wings with 

 small round white spots ; the body and abdomen are also spotted with 

 black." — Westv-ood.
