just below the costa and on vein 1. There is a dark median line which runs from the 

 dark shade on the costa above the reniform outwardh' to beyond the cell on vein 5, 

 and then returns diagonally across the wing toward the inner margin, which it reaches 

 about 2 mm. beyond the subbasal line. This median line is followed by a very fine 

 subparallel postmedian line, sharply crenulate, or produced on the veins. Beyond the 

 postmedian line there is a very dark subapical brown shade and a submarginal series 

 of minute white points located on the veins and accentuated both externally and 

 internally by dark black scales. There is a fine marginal dark line accentuated inter- 

 nally and on the intersjjaces with fine white lines. The fringes are dark brown, be- 

 coming blackish externally. Upon the hind wings the subbasal and median lines of 

 the fore wing are continued as fine dark subparallel lines. The j^ostmedian line of the 

 fore wing is not continued upon the hind wing; the submarginal series of light spots 

 accentuated inwardly and outwardly by dark brown scales is continued from the fore 

 wing upon the hind wing, becoming most prominent toward the inner margin; the 

 outer marginal line and the fringes of the hind wing are as on the fore wing. On the 

 under side both wings are pale reddish ochraceous, with the submarginal and median 

 lines of the upper side reproduced, but broader and more diffuse. The apex of the 

 fore wing is broadly whitish and there is a faint pale submarginal band extending 

 from this light patch toward the inner margin, which it does not quite reach. The 

 submarginal series of spots found on the upper side of the hind wing on the lower side 

 is represented by a broad diffuse band of blackish sagittate spots, fusing into each 

 other and defined externally by paler sagittate markings. The fringes on the lower 

 side are very dark brown or black. Expanse, 48 mm. 



The tj'pe is unique and is in The American Museum of Natural 

 History. It was taken at Medje, August 5, 1910.

Plate XIII, Figure 17, cT 

 cf . Upper side of thorax, abdomen and wings moderately dark fawn to plumbe- 

 ous; traces of a fine externally rounded subbasal line, a faint lighter-colored discal 

 spot in the cell of the fore wing, and traces of a larger reniform spot at the end; a 

 dark postmedian line runs outwardly from a little beyond the middle of the costa as 

 far as vein 6, and then returns abruptly and runs in a straight line backward con- 

 tinuously toward the inner margin of the hind wing, which it does not quite reach; 

 this line is sharply defined externally, but is diffuse internally. There are traces of a 

 submarginal waved line near the tornus of the fore wing, and this is continued more 

 distinctly upon the hind wing, being accentuated externally by some minute pale 

 light spots; the margin in both wings is defined by a verj' fine brown line punctated 

 on the interspaces by minute paler clots; the fringes are uniformly dark brown. On 

 the under side the fore wings are whitish at the apex, and light testaceous on the inner 

 margin. The fore wings are crossed by a median, postmedian, and submarginal dark 

 band running from the costa as far as vein 1, the outer band being somewhat diffuse 

 and broadest just before the apex; these three transverse bands are continued upon 

 the secondaries as curved bands, the outermost being produced upon the nervules and 

 accentuated bj- paler spots on the interspaces; the fringes on the under side are not 

 much darker than the body of the wing. The female is marked much as the male, but
