 decidedly thickened ; apex rounded or very bluntly angulated ;

 brown or very pale buff ; the whole costal region blackish- 

 brown, broadly so above the stigmata, which are partly

 nervure and discal cell tinged with deep brown ; beyond this 

 two straight lines of the same colour proceed to the hind 

 margin ; basal line a mere faint interruption of the dark- 

 costal stripe ; first line brown, formed into long slender zig- 

 zags ; second line also brown but exceedingly faint, divided 

 into a series of crescents, and followed by a parallel row of 

 black dots, outside which is a second line of dots ; near the 

 hind margin and above the anal angle is a small deep brown 

 elongated spot, and below it two black dots on the margin, 

 these last being part of a series of marginal black dots, most 

 of them smaller ; orbicular stigma only indicated by an ex- 

 tension of the black -brown of the margin ; reniform stigma 

 more distinct, black-brown, enclosing an angulated whitish 

 streak ; cilia of the ground colour, with a dash of brown from 

 each black dot, more especially at the points of contact with 

 the longitudinal dark streaks. Hind wings short, rounded, 

 pale grey with brownish nervures and a row of small black 

 lunate streaks along the hind margin ; cilia white. Female 

 with the body stouter, otherwise quite similar.

 with yellowish, along the costal margin ; shading off paler 

 along the dorsal margin, and having the hind-marginal space 

 broadly pale yellowish-brown, edged with black dots, which 

 are repeated at the tips of the cilia ; reniform stigma smok}'-
