outer liiiL' dark brown. (3iit('r line olilique, eiirved tovvaril the coista, with 

 no tendency to donbh- itself, and quite distinct from the border of the wing, 

 Itevond which it is nisty-ochreous, growing slightly paler toward the edge 

 of the winy. A large, pale, irregularly oval, apical spot, one of -a series of 

 smaller irregular ones, ending just within the hind angle. Fringe dark. 

 Hind wings with a very faint basal shade (not present in two of the speci- 

 mens) Outer line straight, or l)ut slightly curved, duplicated in the middle, 

 but inclosing a smaller area than usual. Shaded a little way beyond the 

 line, and on the apical portion with rusty-ochreous ; edge of wing below 

 pale ochreous. Beneath, deeper ochreous than usual, the outer common line 

 alone prominent, dark brown. Wings ochreous, heavily speckled with black 

 scales. Submarginal row of pale spots distinct, but not present on the hind 

 wings. Border partially shaded, especially on tiie fore wings and apical 

 region of the hind wings.

This well-marked species may at once be kno\\-n l)y the two large, broad, 

 triangular teeth on the hind wings, the unusually bright-ochreous colors, and 

 the row of submurgiual, pale, irregular spots near the outer edge of the fore 

 wings.
