rent spots depend from the costa beyond the cell ; an oblique row of 

 similar spots back of the stigma; this last is narrow, nearly straight, 

 edged on either side with black scales. 



Secondaries have the disc fulvous obscured with brown, clearest to- 

 wards the margin ; a clear fulvous spot in the cell ; fringes grey, but 

 pale-reddish at the anal angle. 



Under side ochrey-yellow ; on primaries a black mark, forked at the 

 extremity, represents the stigma; sometimes there is a black shade at 

 the inner angle of primaries, but often it is wanting; all the semi- 

 transparent spots reappear. Secondaries without spot or mark, a slighr- 

 ly paler shade indicates the fulvous space of upper side. Body above 

 brown; the extremity of the abdomen ferruginous.
