 the wing. 



Male. — Expansion of the wings 5 — 5\ lines. Head whitish ; 

 anterior wings pale greyish-fuscous, with two slender whitish op- 

 posite spots in the middle, forming an interrupted fascia, the

 apex whitish. 



Female. — Expansion of the wings 4| — 5 lines. Head whitish ; 

 anterior wings dark greyish-fuscous, with a whitish central fascia, 

 rather attenuated in the middle ; cilia grey, at the apex (which is

 with grey, makes broad whitish mines in the leaves of Sesteria
