 reticulations; a basal patch, a narrow antemedian fascia, 

 nearly vertical, and a postmedian fascia, forked below the 

 middle and becoming obsolete towards inner margin, its outer 

 edge angulated in mid-wing, all slightly darker ; the whole 

 wing covered with dark, more or less interlacing strigulee ; 

 fringe concolorous, darker towards the apices, and faintly 

 chequered with darker. Hind wings with a dark line near 

 base and a dark irregular central fascia, the whole wing reticu- 

 lated ; fringe as in fore wings. Head, thorax, and abdomen 

 concolorous ; collar and front of thorax darker. Underside

 Wlk., and B. dissi/mdans, Warr.
