tal half, interrupted in the middle of the wing by an oblique 

 oblong brownish streak, by an almost square brownish patch 

 above the reniform, and by a deep brown shade at the apex. The 

 inner half of the wing is rich greenish brown, inclosing a small 

 sub-triangular fawn-colored patch at the middle of the internal 

 margin. The t. p. line is deep brown — very much sinuo-dentate, 

 and running from the posterior third of internal margin to a point 

 very close to the apex. It is surrounded by a brownish cloud, in 

 which are some bluish scales. On the internal half of the poster- 

 ior margin is a sublunate cream colored patch, and the margin 

 has a series of black triangular dots between the nervules. Fringe 

 white, brown at the apex. Secondaries smoky white, with a very 

 faint reddish tinge. Underside dull smoky white, darker on the 

 margins and at the apex of the primaries. Thorax white in 

 front, brownish on the disc and behind. Abdomen concolorus 

 with the lower wings.
