 the costa fulvous ; a longitudinal black mark on median vein, and others in 

 ocellus apparent under a lens; fringes black tinged with gray; secondaries

 costal streaks, fringes tipped with black; secondaries gray : legs blackish, 

 the posterior pair white above, tinged with fulvous beneath. Abdomen

 with piceou's. Thorax; tegulse gray, with a median fuscous band: prima- 

 ries brownish ; a pale basal spot, a fascia of three pale spots just beyond, 

 succeeded by a fascia of four similar spots, and this followed at the mid- 

 dle of the wing by three similar spots which do not unite to form a fascia; 

 beyond the middle a Y-shaped fascia, its stem obliquing basally, the ante- 

 rior branch reaching costa about the middle of wing, the posterior about 

 the outer fourth and connecting with the first of tv^o small costal spots 

 which form a continuation of a broad irregular terminal fascia; apical 

 angle and middle of posterior margin brown ; fringes tawny, with ^ 

 darker basal coincident shade : secondaries dark gray, fuscous at apical 

 angle ; fringes light gray with a darker coincident basal line : under sur-^ 

 /ace of primaries deep fuscous, the markings of upper surface faintly indi- 

 cated on disc, but distinctly on costal and posterior margins; secondaries
