Imago (1 : 2, n ; 11 : 8). Head covered with lon,2:, erect, gray-brown hairs with many 

 pale dirty ones mingled with them, and behind the eyes with dirty pale scales. Palpi cov- 

 ered with dirty pale and intermingled dull reddish brown scales, especially along the 

 middle of the outer surface, the long, lower fringe made up of dull, rather dark browu 

 hairs externally, internally flanked by many shorter, paler ones, the upper fringe of 

 mingled pale and brownish hairs and scales. Antennae beneath mostly white, above of 

 the color of the upper surface of the wings, interrupted rather narrowly at the base 

 of each joint with white, the last three or four joints of the club and both sides of the 

 whole of the same bare of scales and brownish luteous. Tongue luteo-fuscous, largely 

 luteous at tiie base; papillae (61 : 26) about four times as long as broad, subequal, with 

 Ave or six longitudinal ribs ending in thorns, and w'ith a slender, central, apical filament 

 not so long as the Avidth of the papilla. 



Thorax covered above Avith long, mouse brown and pale reddish brown hairs, fre- 

 quently, and especially on the patagia, having a pale olivaceous tinge; below with 

 dark gray brown hairs. Legs covered with hairs and scales of a similar color, but 

 paler externally and along the under side of the middle and hind tibiae and tarsi. 

 Spines black ; spurs pale luteous, scaled Avitli wdiite at base. Paronychia and basal half of 

 claws very pale luteous, apical half of claws reddish brown, deepening toward tip. 



Wings above dark, sliglitly rufous, brown, with a scarcely perceptible olivaceous 

 tint (^), or of a similar but paler, rather slaty, brown without any rufous tint 

 ( ? ). Outer border of fore Avings almost perfectly rounded ; of hind Avings Avith distinct 

 though slight creuulations. Fore vnngs Avith a very broad, transverse, nearly equal 

 patch of pale dull orange ( J ), or of paler orange, often verging upon straAV-color ( ? ), 

 extending from the subcostal to the submedian nervures, sometimes surpassing the 

 latter a very little ; the exterior margin is generally ill-defined above, better defined 

 and approaching Avithin nearly half an interspace's distance of the outer border ; the in- 

 terior margin is broadly sinuous, passing in a straight or slightly curved line, the con- 

 cavity outAvard, above the median nervure at a short distance beyond tlie apex of the 

 cell ; below the upper branch of the median nervure it passes to the submedian in an- 

 other curve, the convexity iuAvard, the angle between the tAvo curves rounded ofi'at the 

 upper median nerA'ule. In the middle of the upper and loAver halves of this broad patch 

 are larger (?) or smaller ( ^ ) , roimd, black spots faintly and very narroAvly edged Avith 

 umber, each enclosing a pupil of pale blue scales, Avhichis larger in the ? than in the J , 

 and in the former often Avhite at the centre; the uppermost spot is in the loAvest subcostal 

 interspace and in the $ occupies just its breadth; in the $ itahvays surpasses this and 

 often extends over the upper half of the subcosto-median and the loAver third of thepenul-
