Head, palpi and thorax grayish-brown ; palpi, abdomen and legs fuscous. 



Forewiiig: gray-brown; a large dark brown spot on dorsum, between inner 

 fourth and middle, extending to middle of wing, pointed on top, rounded on 

 sides; a smaller spot of same shape and color on dorsum before angle ; from the 

 middle of costa an irregular narrow fascia goes obliquely to middle of wing at 

 end of cell, sending a wavy line down to the dorsal spot before angle. Beyond 

 this is a paler gray brown fascia, beginning on fascia as a germinate spot, broad- 

 ening below until it involves all of the ocellic space. Beyond it on costa are three 

 paler geminate streaks. A darker shade in apex. Cilia dark gray.

 its upper end touching fold, it is about as wide as long and slightly rounded on 

 the sides; in one specimen a streak of brown is continued up above middle of 

 wing and connecting with the obscure central fascia. The other spot is in the 

 apical end of the wing ; it rests on costa before apex and extends down nearly to 

 anal angle, it is nearly straight on its outer edge and convex on its inner edge, 

 its length is twice as long as its width on costa, there is a narrow line of grouhd 

 color between the upper two-thirds of its length and termen. Cilia gray-brown.
