Upper side black, immaculate ; fringes concolored. Under side of primaries 

 brown, with a tint of ferruginous over cell ; on the extra-discal area a broad 

 ferruginous transverse band from costa to middle of sub-median interspace, both 

 edges crenated : on the costal margin the color of this band is less distinct, 

 rather passing into brown ; the discal area, lying l^etween the baud and the pale 

 base, takes the shape of a band common with that of secondaries, but very pale ; 

 apical area dusted gray. 



Secondaries have at base from costa to middle of cell an obscure gray space, 

 the rest of basal area blackish-brown and confluent with a broad discal band of 

 same color which crosses the entire wing, its outer edge irregularly crenated ; 

 beyond this a dark gray narrower band, gray scales on brown ground, the outer 

 edge also irregularly crenated ; the margin bordered by brown, slightly dusted 

 gray. 



Body black-brown throughout ; legs brown ; palpi black-brown ; antennae
