Lairs of the collar are erect, and in front thickly conii)ressed and ar- 

 ranged in the form of two upi ight dark-broo n fan-shaped masses. The 

 body of the collar, the patagia, the thorax, and the abdomen are light 

 wood-brown, corresponding with the color of tlie anterior wings. There 

 are two dnsky stripes on the abdomen, one on either side. The under 

 side of the body and legs are uniformly light wood-brown. The ante- 

 rior Aviugs are very sharply falcate, and broadly and evenly rounded at 

 the inner angle. The ground color of the anterior wings upon the 

 upper side corresponds with that of the thorax. There is a round dark 

 spot in the cell, and some faint darker markings about the middle of the 

 outer margin and at the apex. Beginning below the costa, about one- 

 third of the distance from the apex, there is a narrow yellow line, 

 which extends outwardly to within about two millimeters of the margin, 

 where it forms an acute angle with a similar line running from theeosta 

 just before the apex to the inner margin before the outer angle. These 

 yellow lines are bordered faintly on both sides by brown. The color 

 of the posterior wings is dark brown, lighter at the base, and with 

 some faint yellowish and black striiv at the anal angle. The color of 

 the under side of the wings is light brown, slightly glossed with i)urple. 

 The forewing is clouded with fuliginous near the inner margin j the 

 hind wing is hoary on the inner margin. A band of minute blackish 

 spots traverse the limbal area of both wings, and there are a few 

 similar spots near the apex of the primaries. 



Expanse of wings, 52 mm.
