8 (? and 8 9. — Antennee serrated, ciliatetl, the hairs radiating so that 

 the ends of each brush touch and t'onii a connected line; lore wings but 

 slightly falcate, being l)ut slightly, almost imperceptibly, excavated below the 

 apex; hind wings angular, but the angle small, though acute; antennas, head, 

 and prothorax chocolate-brown; orliits and anterior edg^ of front and end of 

 second joint of palpi whitish ; body and wings granite-gray ; fore wings 

 densely speckled with three well-marked deep chocolate-brown lines, slightly 

 discontinuous between the veins, and sometimes rather diffuse, ending on the 

 costa in conspicuous triangular spots ; inner line regularly curved, middle nearly 

 straight, outer sinuate and enlarged in middle, touching a large dark-brown 

 patch broken up by the veins, somewhat as in S. enotata. Above this is the 

 usual broad costo-apical patch, sometimes irregularly oblong, or Ijroad and 

 rounded ; from the outer side of this spot arises the sui)marginal zigzag white 

 line, which differs in distinctness with the degree of cloudiness of the wing; 

 hind wings usually thickly speckled with a large distinct discal dot and a 

 broad subinarginal smoky band (sometimes the wing is simply uniformly 

 speckled, with no discal spot or ])aiid) ; on both wings, a marginal row of 

 black dots, while the fringe is whitish, checkered with blackish. Beneath, 

 whiter than above, mottled with speckles, often forming quite large spots; 

 veins and costa washed with ochreous, four large diffuse discal dots; a com- 

 mon broad ochreous or pale-chocolate ])and, the outer edge irregular, and 

 when the band is quite perfect more or less serrate ; sometimes the band is 

 only distinctly marked on the costa, and is represented on the t'ore wings by 

 a similar linear line; legs concolorous with the under side of the wings; hind 

 tibiae long and much thickened and flattened, and tarsi short; abdomen with 

 two dorsal rows of fine black dots.
