what brighter shade than the wing elsewhere, but encroached upon 

 by the dark shades which follow and precede the first and second 

 transverse lines. Outer transverse line, distinct and broad, black- 

 ish, preceded by a diffuse brownish shade and followed by a faint 

 linear pale shade, angulated acutely below costa. Apices, dark, 

 washed with pale somewhat pruinose scales. Outside of the outer 

 transverse line, the wing is colored as at base, sparsely irrorate, 

 without nebulosities. External margin lined with reddish ochre- 

 ous on both pair of wdngs. Secondaries resembling primaries in 

 coloration and appearance, evenly irrorate. A distinct median 

 line, analogous and corresponding with the transverse posterior line 

 of primaries. A minute black discal dot, situate, as usual, on the 

 lower margin of the pale costal region. The irrorations are some- 

 what transversely arranged, especially externally, outside of the 

 transverse posterior and median lines. Under surface of both 

 wings, a little darker, but of a similar color with upper surface, 

 coarsely and evenly irrorate with black. Black cliscal dots, dis- 

 tinct. A narrow, rather faint, common, blackish line, analogous to 

 the transverse posterior and median lines of the upper surface.

2 . Head and thorax, ochreous brownish ; tegulae, obsoletely 

 fringed with purplish hairs. Abdomen, pale ochreous brownish ; 

 under surface and legs, ochreous brownish, thickly sprinkled with 

 black scales. Antennae simple. Anterior wings, ochreous brown- 

 ish, coarsely irrorate and shaded with dark scales arranged in short 

 transverse striate lines. Basal space, ochreous brownish, suffused 

 outwardly by confused linear shadings, limited externally by the 

 arcuate transverse anterior line, which latter is ochreous ferrugi- 

 nous, preceded by a pale shade line and a diffuse pale purplish 

 shade. Median space, bright ochreous brownish, irrorate and 

 frosted with pale scales so as to leave the costa and a central shade
