 This sjiecies is characterized by the antennal appendages being extremely short, 

 haiiily exceeding the collar. The labial palpi are longer, and the antennre arc much 

 more lengthily ciliate compared with Epipaschia. The ornamentation, but not the 

 color, is like zelleri. Fore wings reddish brown at base to the inner line, which is 

 daik brown, preceded by a dark shade with raised scales, slightly outwardly pro- 

 duced on costa and submedially. Inner portion of median space washed with white 

 on costal region and anteriorly. A discal dot. The outer line is ilark lirown, denti- 

 culate, produced over median nervules, whence it runs obliquely inwardly to internal 

 margin. It is followed by a whitish corresponding shade-line. Terminal sjiace 

 washed with brown, becoming whitish before the margin. Tlie outer line is situated 

 much nearer the outer margin than in zcllcri. A terminal dotted li'ie distinct on 

 hind wings. These latter are pale fuscous, with an outer dentate line tollowecl by a 

 white shade more or less noticeable. Terminal palpal joint marked with black, 

 tipped with pale. Head and appendages reddish-brown ; thorax becoming pale be-

As compared with hrdvioj-uaialis which this species very much reseml)les and of 

 x^hich it is possibly a variety this species is much lighter in color, and shows a greater 

 inclination to reddish. The inner ]iart of the basal field and the greater portion of 

 the middle field are powdery whitish, the hind wings being lighter fuscous than its 

 congener. Expands, 25 to 30 mm.
