 costa is distinctly geminated with a lustrous gra3\ from the basal patch to the 

 tip of the wing, separated by dark brown streaks, which are touched with dark

 brown centre touched with brown, and a large patch of the same hue betwee i 

 it and the dorsal patch and a small one between it and the hinder margin. 

 Cilia dark ochreous touched on the ends with dark brown. Hind wings shin-

 ish-ljrown. Between the basal patch and central fascia, is a gray dorsal patch 

 extended to the costa. containing an indistinct blackish-brown line on the cos- 

 tal side. The ocelloid patch has t.vo transverse leaden hued stripes and the 

 apical portion of the wing above it has several small spots of the same hue. 

 The costa, from the base to the tip of the wing, is white marked with blackish- 

 brown streaks, of which that forming the central fascia is the most pronounced.
