Expanse of wings I 1.84—2.00; 9 1.9G— 2.12 inches. 



Head, thorax and abdomen bhick, with hairs of the color of the upper 

 .surface of the winirs; stalk of antennje annulated with brown and <iray- 

 ish-white ; club light yellowish-brown, fointly annulated with dusky, 

 the tip much darker. Palpi white, with longer blackish-brown hairs 

 beneath, tip of mingled hairs principally blackish. Femora with black- 

 i.*h-brown, tibiae with yellowish hairs. 



Wings above; % dark brown, 9 paler yellowish-brown, with darker 

 marginal bauds ; outer border narrowly edged with black ; beneath 

 flecked with hoary on apex of primaries and on whole of secondai'ies 

 except the borders of the middle band and a darker submarginal band; 

 t'riuge dull grayish-white, narrowly interrupted at the nervule-tips with 

 blackish. 



Above. PrimarlcH : basal half of costal edge flecked or marbled with 

 grayish-w^hite and dark brown; S uniformly pretty dark brown, with a 

 slight yellowish tinge, with a blackish-haired streak as in % of C.JuWt, 

 only separated from the median nervure next the base. 9 P<iler or 

 ilarker yellowish-brown, with a more or less distinct dusky band along 

 the whole outer border ; the transverse costal streaks of the outer half 

 of the wing sometimes indistinctly showing through from the under 

 surface ; generally without eyes, in cell 5 sometimes an indistinct 

 brownish eye, largely gray-pupilled. Secondaries : S as in primaries, 

 the markings of the under surface showing through pretty distinctly ; 

 a submarginal band of indistinct yellowish-brown spots, between which 

 and the border a very indistinct dusky band ; 9 the whole basal half 

 dusky, sometimes less distinctly so next the base, the markings of the 

 under surface showing through ; outer half of wing paler than the pri- 

 maries, a rather broad marginal band of blackish-brown, always more 

 distinct on its inner margin, whei'e it condenses into transverse blackish 

 bars between the nervules, to which the band is sometimes almost con- 

 fiued, and upon which sit faint yellowish-white spots, barely discerni- 

 ble. 



Beneath. Primaries paler than above; varying from pale to deeper 

 yellowish-brown, at the apex grayish-white, extending down the outer 

 border to the median nervules and sometimes spreading as a hoary tint 

 over nearly the whole apex beyond the cell ; the whole wing, except 

 inner border, transversely barred with more or less clustered grayish- 

 brown streaks, which almost always congregate with greater distinctness 

 to form two larger narrow transverse streaks reaching from the costal 

 ijuite or near to the inner border, one submarginal. the other crossing at
