Ground color a pale brown, varying to whitish in the female and to 

 smoky iu the male. Head and thorax concolorous; the abdomen a little 

 paler. Primaries with the median space a rich uniform brown, often 

 velvety in appearance, contrasting strongly with the remainder of the 

 wing, though less so in the male. The median lines are connected iufe- 

 riorly; the transverse anterior very oblique, even, white, extending to 

 the internal vein, on which it meets and joins the transverse posterior 

 line. This is also white, starts a little outwardly obliipie, is then prom- 

 inently exserted and then again inwardly obli(|ue to the internal vein, 

 inclosing thus between the two lines a rhomboidal patch, which is the 

 median space, neither of the median Hues reachiug the iuuer margin. 

 Trausverse posterior line iinnctiform, white, preceded by blackish spots, 

 a little sinuate and variably distinct, more evident in the male as a 

 rule. At the apex is a paler triangle, interiorly margined by a dark 

 brown oblicjuc shade, which is fietiuenrly broken into tlircc oval blotches, 

 and this shade nearly meets the outward bulge ot the median sj)ace. 

 A slender, pale, terminal line. The i)aler shade ot the wing includes
