 considerably produced, termen very oblique; pale fawn, mottled with 

 brown and brownish fuscous, the extreme base of the costa suffused with 

 brownish fuscous scales ; a strong group of brown mottlings appears to

 and terminating in two patches of brownish fuscous, the one on the cell 

 somewhat diffused, the other narrow and running along the fold ; a fascia- 

 form brownish shade, intermixed with brownish fuscous scales, leaves the 

 middle of the costa and, gradually reduced in width, reaches to the dorsum 

 before the tornus ; this is followed before the apex by one or two short 

 longitudinal streaks of brownish fuscous, which do not quite reach the 

 costal cilia; along the termen is a series of five or six rather small 

 brownish fuscous spots, the pale fawn cilia being divided by a brownish 

 line. Exp. al. <J 21 mm., 9 28 mm. Hindwings shining whitish fawn,
