 of inner margin, second from beyond middle of costa, incurved beneath the linear 

 brown cell-mark, to one-third of inner margin ; outer line from costa a little beyond 

 median, widely curved then straight, parallel to hindmargin, to two-tliirds of inner 

 margin, brown and distinct in its uj)per course; this lino is crossed by an equally 

 distinct straight brown line from inner margin at three-fifths, angled at vein 

 and retracted to the same point on costa as the cnrved line ; marginal area 

 more luteous tinged, witii an obscure Innulate-dentate cloudy shade following 

 the outer line, the Innules between veins 2 and 4 darker ; slight dark marginal 

 spots between veins ; fringe pale grey. 



Himhcing : with median and outer lines brown, thick and distinct ; the median 

 straight, but forming a semicircle inwardly in cell round tlie black cell-spot ; the 

 outer curved, followed by a waved luteous grey cloud.

 sulimarginal lunnlate-dentate shade well marked, the space between it and 

 outer liue luteous ; a fine brown marginal line ; the veins yellowish.

 first at one-fifth, angled in cell ; median, before middle, bent on vein 6 ; outer 

 acutely angled on vein G, the angle marked by black scales, then incurved and 

 again angled, but more slightly, between veins 3 and 4, thence straight ; the 

 three lines equidistant from each other on inner margin ; submarginal liue 

 faintly paler, preceded by a darker shade, which below costa forms three cbestnut-
