raiuutely dotted with l)lack ; cilia shining pale brown. 

 Hind wings very faintly ond obscurely angulated behind, 

 squared at the anal angle, and a little so at the apex ; whitish- 

 brown with a faint tinge of red, but somewhat dusted with 

 d^n-k purple-brown ; the first and second lines of tlie four 

 wings continued in the same manner in dots, and the central 

 stripe so evenly continued as to form a semicircle on the four 

 wings ; hind margin edged with fine streaks of dark brown ; 

 cilia pale reddish-brown. Female very simihir, but ;i, little 

 stouter, and having simple antenna?. 



Underside of the fore wings whitish-brown, tinged with 

 red-brown on the costal half, and strongly dusted, especially 

 towards the base, with blackish-brown ; hind wings whiter 

 and less thickly dusted ; the central stripe of all the wings 

 faintly indicated in smoky-black, but the second line of 

 black dots more conspicuous throughout. Body whitish- 

 brown ; legs pale red-brown. 



Rather variable in the distinctness of the dots of the first 

 and second lines, which often are nearly obsolete, or else 

 obscured by red dusting ; also in the colour of the central 

 stripe, from bright red to brown, in the collection of Mr. 

 J. Harrison, of Barnsley, Yorks, is a specimen having this stripe 

 normal from the costal mai'gin to the middle of the wing, 

 but there curved rapidly inward, so that instead of attaining 

 the dorsal margin, it runs quite in to the base. In that of 

 Mr. W. G. Blatch is one of a unicolorous yellow-brown, devoid 

 of this stripe altogether ; and Mr. Sydney Webb has two 

 specimens in which it is broken up into short streaks upon 

 the nervures. He has also a specimen in which the dots of 

 the second line are united into a full and much dentated 

 line, continued upon the hind wings and there slightly angu- 

 lated. In Mr. W. H. B. Fletcher's collection is a curious 

 specimen in which this second line, tolerably complete, is 

 diverted and makes a great curve inwards, above the anal 

 angle, so as to avoid a space in which small brown dots sur- 

 round a pale patch. In that of Mr. F. 0. Woodforde is
