middle, becoming obsolete immediately before the margin. This 

 linear band is angulated prominently immediately below costa and 

 thence obsoletely so on the nervules, with faint traces of connexion 

 by dark scales. An even, dark olivaceous line from apex to inter- 

 nal margin at without the middle, everywhere distinct. This line 

 is followed by a faint pale olivaceous shade, defined outwardly 

 irregularly by aggregations of the black irrorations, which are 

 here more prominent than elsewhere, and stretch along internal 

 margin to the angle. Below the costa, on the apical interspace, is 

 a faint ochreous shade. Terminally, the wing is somewhat darker 

 than elsewhere, forming a defined terminal space, traversed cen- 

 trally by a sub-obsolete series of black dots on the nervules, faintly 

 connected by an obsolete dark shade line. Secondaries, black ; an 

 irregular median band of pale, obscure whitish, or olivaceous whit- 

 ish scales, forming triangulate spots, discontinued before costa, 

 and prominently divided, centrally, by three very black streaks 

 formed by the scales covering the median nervules. All the mar- 

 gins pale. A rather wide terminal band along internal margin, 

 paler but similarly colored with primaries above. 



Under surface of primaries, bright ochreous, distinctly irrorate 

 with black dots. Basally, over the lower part of the disc and 

 beyond, over the nervules at base and at the centre, the wing is 

 shaded with dull blackish scales. A prominent, inwardly oblique, 

 blackish band, obsoletely angulated on the nervules and excavate 

 between them, borders inferiorly the blackish basal shade and runs 

 very distinctly from costa to third median nervule, thence obso- 

 letely, mei*ged in the blackish shade, to internal margin. A sub- 

 terminal series of black dots on the nervules, the dot at costa the 

 largest, inferiorly becoming obsolete. Terminal space darker and 

 narrower than on the upper surface, but similarly colored and 

 neatly defined. Secondaries resemble primaries in coloration, but 

 without any blackish shades, becoming paler along internal margin 

 and basally, crossed by two sinuate series of black nervular dots 

 corresponding to those on the primaries ; the inner series being 

 connected by a pale blackish shade line excavate between the 

 nervules. 



Head, thorax, legs, and abdomen, resembling upper surface of 

 primaries in coloration, irrorate with black scales. Centrally, the
