the mesial one crossing the fore wings before the end of 

 the cell, the other submarginal, just beyond the end of 

 the cell. In the submarginal band the fore wings have 

 two small white spots near the costa, and a white point 

 in the second median interspace. Hind wings dentate 

 on the outer margin, the fringe of the points concolorous

 wing to the apex, — both of these in a line back from the 

 costa ; two more in the median interspaces, and one below 

 the lower median venule, close to this venule and nearer 

 the margin than the others. All of these are small, 

 those of the costal region subquadrate, the others trian- 

 gular, the one in the lower median interspace more or 

 less obsolete. There is also a curved brown mark be-
