 serrate, and angulafcd in the middle, especially on the hind winirs. Body

 Fore wings with three lines, the inner much curved, and sometimes more or 

 less dislocated on the costa, making it sinuous; median band nearly straight, 

 either faint when the discal dot is conspicuous or the line heavy, more or 

 less difiuse and expanded on the veins ; outer line regularly sinuate, sub- 

 dentate, a diffuse ochreous patch beyond in the middle of the wing; some- 

 times the line is shaded with dark externally and the ochreous patch is 

 obscured; a dusk}^ difiuse patch in the extradiscal s[)a(-'e, and another near 

 the anal angle of the wing; just within the extradiscal dark patch from one 

 to three rounded white patches, one especially well maiked. Fringe check-

 discal dots distinct ; an outer, conuuon, sinuate line, consisting often of more 

 or less disconnected dots; speckles thicker nearer the l)ase of the wing; 

 the inner line sometimes present, then heavy, diil'use, and both lines well 

 marked by triangular costal spots. Female either pale whitish or with a 

 decided ochreous tinge; the two inner lines fornung broad shades, especially 

 the middle, which in one case is decidedly sinuate ; the three white spots 

 distinct, and the wings rather densely speckled with brown; beneath, 

 whitish, or with a slight ochreous tinge, the inner shade present on both
