sliading distally to it at costa, radials, and near inner mar- 

 gin ; terminal spots black, rather large ; Iringe eoJicolorons. 

 Hind wing with the central shade proximal to cell-spot, 

 dithise and approximated to postmedian at inner margin, 

 reeeding from it and hrcoming ni'n; slender towards costa, 

 ohsoli'tc hcyoiid cell; discal spot smaller than in tore wing; 

 postmedian distinct, thickened at base of R' andM', followed 

 by a large roundish blotch between radials, and a second 

 near inner margin ; snbterminal indicated only by a scarcely 

 interrupted series of dark spots which follows it; terminal 

 line less broken into spots than on fore wing, yet stnjiigly 

 interrupted at the vein-ends. Underside white, both wings 

 with small dark cell-spot, the f»)re wing in addition witli 

 traces of a postmedian line, and with a roundish, rather ill-

(J. -l-l- mm. — Head and body coucolorous with wings, 

 face and occiput slightly brighter brown. Shape of wings 

 nearly as in the group of commolarlu , Mssn., fore wing some- 

 what broader than iu that species ; brown, slightly tinged 

 with olive, and w ith scattered blackish scales, especially near 

 base and in distal area, on costa of fore wing, and at inner 

 margin of hind wing; the lines ferruginous, shaded with 

 ochreous; fore wing with antemedian from one-seventh 

 costa, very oblique outwards to cell, and somewhat dark- 

 ened ; then nearly vertical, incurved on M and indented on 

 SM- ; median at before two-fifths, almost obsolete ; post- 

 median from two-thirds costa, parallel with tcrmen through- 

 out, minutely tcjothed on veins, the teeth accompanied by 

 dark dots; snbterminal from Hvc-sixths costa, nearly parallel 

 with termen, indicated by a series of black dots between the 

 veins, marginetl distally by small, somewhat lunulate whitish 

 marks ; the dots anterior to 11' moderate-sized, those between 

 radials large, the posterior ones minute and indistinct, grey 

 rather than black ; discal dot small, black, distinct ; terminal 

 dots small, black, distinct, csj)ecially antcri(jrly ; fringe cou- 

 colorous with wing. Hind wing with no antemedian line, 

 postmedian straight, from inner margin at two-thirds to the 

 fold between C and SC at nearly three-fourths, here weakly 

 angled, but becoming almost entirely obsolete; subtenninal 

 spots all small ; terminal dots minute and for the mo>t part 

 indistinct. Underside nearly unicolorous grey-brown, weakly
