sharply white on basal half beneath. Antennae ochreous. 

 Forewings elongate, triangular, termen faintly bowed, alightly 

 sinuate beneath apex; 12 free; ochreousngrey, with fuscous 

 markings; a small spot below costa at one-fourth, a second 

 above innermargin at one-third, and a third midway bet-ween ; 

 a moderate, round, pale centred discal spot; a, moderately 

 thick fuscous shade from costa at three-fourths to inneraiargin 

 at three-fourths, somewhat sinuate inwai'ds on lower half; a 

 row of dots along termen ; cilia ochreous-fuscous. Hindwings 

 with color, markings, and cilia as in forewings, but first three 

 dots absent and fuscous shade nearly straight. 



Nearest anthracoj^a, Meyr., but quite distinct by the neural 

 character and markings.

 and another midway between, the three forming a somewhat 

 curved series ; a moderate fuscous discal spot ; a. row of some- 

 what connected small fuscous spots from costa. at three-fourths 

 to innermargin at two-thirds, gently curved outwards on upper 

 half ; a fine fuscous line along tennen, more or less interrupted 

 into spots ; cilia fuscous, darker on basal half, with a distinct 

 grey parting line. Hindwings dark fuscous, minutely 

 iiTorated with black ; two short blackish lines from inner- 

 margin before and beyond middle, the latter better developed ; 

 line along termen and cilia as in forewings. 



Not unlike some forms of female intextata, but the dif-

 separate it.
