5 . ? . — Whitish, brown, and fulvous. Head whitish, fi-ont and 

 vertex fulvous. Palpi yellowish, apical joint dark brown. Patagia and 

 thorax whitish, the latter with a broad longitudinal median stripe. 

 Abdomen yellowish, with a faint dorsal dark line, most distinct at the 

 base. Thorax beneath, and legs fulvous, the anterior pair dark brown 

 outwardly. 



Anterior wings whitish, very faintly tinged with fulvous, which color 

 is most intense on the costa at the apex. The costa above the subcos- 

 tal vein, is brown nearly to the apex; the outer margin from the apex 

 to the fourth median nervule is also brown, as is also the inner margin 

 from the base to the anal angle. This last brown patch does not unite 

 with the one on the outer margin, extends above the internal vein, and 

 throws off a quadrate expansion towards the centre of the wing, termin- 

 ating on the second median nervule. 



Posterior wings clear ochre-yellow, with a sub-cordate brown spot 

 near the outer margin, and rather nearer to the anal than to the apical 

 angle. Beneath all -the wings concolorous with the secondaries; the 

 spot on which is reproduced, but divided into two by the yellow A'ein. 

 On the primaries the spots are obsolete, except that portion of the 

 brown internal margin which is thrown off towards the disc of the wing, 

 and that portion which lies between this expansion and the inner angle. 



Expanse of wings, 1.70 inches. Length of body, 0.65 inch.
