This species has the general coloration of H. strlyosa of Europe, but the separation of 

 the primaries into two distinct areas, light and dark, and the far superior size would be 

 sufficient to distinguish it at a glance, apart from tlie many diil'erences in pattern which 

 characterize it.

 inner black line of the central belt which occupies the central two fourths of the wing, and is 

 bounded externally by an irregular arched and sinuated black line, acutely projected on first 

 median interspace, below which it turns abruptly backwards and then transversely to the 

 inner margin, so as to leave a quadrate pale patch at external angle ; the lower third of the 

 central belt to above the projecting portion blackish brown ; a distinct, oblique, black dash 

 from the costa to the rcnilbrm spot; both the discoidal spots large, pale brown with whitish
