Primaries narrow, acute, slightly rounded costo-apically; hind mar- 

 gin nearly straight; inner margin but slightly excavated. General color 

 near to .S. Cinerea; crossed by three brown bands, of which the inner 

 one arises at or near (not fully defined in the specimen) some interno- 

 basilar lines and black basilar patch, and runs obliquely toward the 

 cell, in which it is apparently sharply deflected toward the centre; the 

 following two bands run from the internal margin at its middle; the 

 median one runs with an inward curve to opposite the cell, whence it 

 is directed toward the costa at its outer third at nearly a right angle to 

 the costa ; the outer and narrower band is angulated on the submedian 

 fold, and thence approaching the outer margin to opposite the cell (its 

 course beyond not traceable in the specimen); following the band is a 

 narrow black line parallel to it, which is outwardly bordered with a 

 whitish shade; cilia white, marked with black opposite the nervules. 



The veins and the submedian fold have apparently been clothed 

 with black scales; cells 3-8 bear distinct black streaks, the last two of 

 which form a nearly direct line, disconnected only by vein 7. There is 

 an indication of a small white discal spot. 



Secondaries narrow, acute, with a broad black border widening 

 toward the costa; a nearly straight central black band, separated from 

 the preceding by a narrower gray band, and by a still narrower one 

 from the black basilar space; cilia absent. Beneath, a median band, 

 which is the continuation of a similar one on the primaries. 



Expanse of wings 2.6 inches, or about that of ^. Hylceus; length 

 of abdomen 1.2 inches.
