 fuscous. Forewings narrow, costa gently rounded, hindmargin 

 obliquely rounded, white with fuscous markings wh'ch are 

 diffused with ochreous, and irrorated with black scales ; a broad 

 fascia from fold opposite 7, inner margin, anterior border in 

 two waves to ^ costa, and continued as a fine line toward 

 base, but not as far as base, posterior border irregularly curved 

 and toothed, nearly parallel to anterior border, thence curves 

 along costa, and gradually narrows to a thinned out line at 

 f costa ; this subtends a second fascia, sometimes is com- 

 mingled with it from a point opposite f costa and which 

 gradually widens to inner margin, the anterior border twice 

 waved and finely denticulate to beyond ^ inner margin, the 

 posterior border with a sinuate outward curve to anal angle 

 of inner margin ; from its centre a bar connects with a broad 

 difiused apical fascia. Cilia white, ochreous at base, and ochreous 

 tinged with fuscous at anal angle. Hindwings, light fuscous.

 the hindmarginal half is darkened deep black, and the whole line 

 is suffused with ferruginous on costal side and with two or three 

 small dashes on costa ; a black margin line surrounds this round 

 apex ; from a point at ^^ of costa a bread ferruginous fascia 

 commences, having its base separated from half of apical 

 fascia by a line of ground colour, thence runs to inner margin to 

 just before anal angle ; both borders are jagged and throw out 

 tooth-like longer or shorter lines ; a conspicuous spot opposite 

 anal angle ; a diffusion of light ferruginous along inner margin 

 sends a quadrate spot of ferruginous to middle of wing before 

 the half ; a smaller spot on inner margin, nearer base. Cilia,
