collected in Chili. 29 



with snow-white borders as follows : two small basal 

 spots ; an oblique and very irregular marking from near 

 base of costa to external third of inner margin, its 

 centre subquadrate, and only separated by its white 

 border from an indistinct semicircular spot at basal 

 third of inner border, its infero-exterior extremity 

 elbowed and acuminate ; two small spots (darker than 

 the other markings) just before the middle of the costal 

 border ; an abbreviated oblique band across the end of 

 the cell ; two or three small dark spots on the disc and 

 a slightly irregular discal band, its costal portion ex- 

 panded, and tri-digitate towards costa, much constricted 

 on the upper radial interspace, but gradually expanding 

 from thence almost to the first median branch, where it 

 is excavated and terminated in a short point ; fringe 

 traversed by two pale brownish lines, between which is 

 a whitish line ; secondaries pale sericeous sandy brown, 

 a feebly undulated darker line beyond the middle, a 

 second close to outer margin, and two, with a white line 

 between them, on the fringe ; thorax whity-brown 

 streaked with grey ; tegulse white, with brown bands ; 

 collar white, with a brown spot on each shoulder ; head 

 white, with brown vertex ; antennae white, with brown 

 pectinations ; abdomen greyish white ; under surface 

 pale sandy brown ; wings with greyish bands, those of 

 the primaries representing the markings of the upper 

 surface, which become reddish brown, and therefore 

 distinct towards the costa ; secondaries with the convex 

 portion of the costal border edged with white, behind 

 which is a ferruginous patch diffused backwards over the 

 cell, but interrupted within the end of the cell by a 

 white spot ; a bifid costal spot towards apex, connected 

 below with an undulated discal line and a small tri- 

 angular apical spot ; an indistinct oval spot near the 

 base of the interno-median area, which is whiter than 

 the rest of the wing; fringe with a pale basal line 

 limited by a greyish line, beyond which are one or two 

 white spots. Expanse of wings, 55 mm. 



A male.
