 silky ; a broad, diffuse, oblique, pale, smoky brown band occupies the

 than on primaries. Under surface of primaries, largely pale smoky 

 brown, whitish at base ; a very narrow, terminal whitish line. Se-

 markings differ in detail. There is a basal geminate dentate half-line. 

 Beyond, a geminate, dentate, distinct, transverse anterior line, which 

 is outwardly arcuate superiorly. All the transverse lines are of a
