Head white, mottled with brown. Palpi white, with a 
pale brownish spot at the apex of the second joint, and 
two or three pale brownish marks on the apical joint. 
Fore wings white, with two brown costal spots near the 
base, the second of which is prolonged by a few brownish 
fuscous scales, indicating an obsolete basal patch or 
fascia; before the middle commences a very wide 
irregular fascia occupying about one-half of the whole 
surface of the wing, its inner edge being more clearly 
defined than its outer edge, which extends obliquely out- 
wards through the cilia at the anal angle. The fascia 
has a generally mottled appearance, and is for the most 
part brown, upon which are distributed patches of shining 
dark purple scales, especially along the inner edge, near 
the costa, and on the dorsal half of the wing about the 
middle ; it is also occasionally interrupted by more or

which the most clearly defined is a small costal spot 
near the commencement of the fascia. There is a brown
