 sixth innermargin ; basal area fuscous-tinged ; median band 

 broad, anterior edge from one-third costa to one-third inner- 

 margin, gently curved inwards throughout, followed by two 

 parallel lines ; most distinct on margins ; posterior edge from 

 costa beyond two^thirds toi innermargin beyond two-thirds, 

 slightly angulated just below costa, and with a prominent 

 median projection, somewhat sinuate above and below this, 

 anteriorly edged throughout by a moderate, thick parallel 

 shade, which is again edged anteriorly by a fine parallel line, 

 leaving middle of band clear ground color ; ai well defined 

 curved discal spot; a suffused spot on costa near apex; an

 anterior edge suffused, posterior edge well defined, gently 

 curved, somewhat prominent in middle ; two or three obscure 

 short parallel lines of fuscous above anal angle ; dots along 

 termen and cilia as in forewings. Underside of hindwings 

 pale ochreous, markings of upperside reproduced, but much 

 more distincti ; discal dot connected with base by ai black bar ; 

 parallel lines above anal angle forming a, subterminal band. 



The antennae being imperfect render the position, of this 

 vspecies uncertain ; it is \ ery unlike any other known to me.
