Genitalia (figs. 33-33c, 34) with apical process rather large; end 

 of vinculum bluntly angulate. 



Female. — Similar to the male in color and markings except that the 

 fuscous line along the termen of the hind wing is a trifle stronger. 



Alar expanse, 2^28 mm. 



Genitalia (figs. 64, 64a) with signum a narrow, minutely spined 

 plate; bursa copnlatrix smooth except toward ductus bursae, where 

 it is finely scobinate ; ductus bursae of moderate length, swollen toward 

 bursa.
