 This species is characterized by tlie anlennal appendages being extremely short, 

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

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

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

 <!aik 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 dark brown, denti- 

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

 mai-gin. It is followed by a whitish correspomling shade-line. Terminal space 

 washed with bi-ovvn, becoming whitish before the margin. The outer line is situated 

 much nearer the outer margin than in zcUcri. A terminal dotted liie distinct on 

 hind wing-. These iatter are pale fuscous, with an outer dentate line followed by a

As compared with hrtviornatalis which this species very much resembles and of 

 which it is possibly a variety this sjiecies is much lighter in color, and shows a greater 

 inclination to reddish, 'fhe inner i^art of the basal field and the greater portion of 

 the middle field are powdei)- \\ hitisli, the hind wings being lighter fuscous than its 

 congener. Expands, 25 to 30 mm.
