 at the base, much widened outwardly, apex rounded, termen some- 

 what oblique ; brownish fuscous to beyond the middle, thence 

 orange-ochreous ; the outer edge of the brownish fuscous portion 

 broken into projecting points, one tending upwards towards the 

 apex from the upper end of the cell, another shorter one tending 

 outwards from the lower angle of the cell, a narrow band of 

 brownish fuscous runs around the apex and termen to the tornus 

 : with a slight inward projection below the apex (but in some speci- 

 mens this is reduced to a slight shade) preceding a more or less 

 distinct brownish line along the base of the pale greyish cilia ; a 

 pale greyish speckled transverse fascia crosses the darker portion 

 of the wing at one-third from the base, and is somewhat wider on 

 its lower than on its upper half ; a few whitish scales are visible at 

 three points on the costa, the first at the upper extremity of the 

 transverse fascia, the second at the outer edge of the brown por- 

 tion of the wing, the third immediately before the apex, and these 

 are slightly reproduced on the brownish fuscous underside. Exp.

 brown parting line running through them near their base ; a slight 

 pale marking occurs near the abdominal angle, within the margin, 

 extending outwards parallel with it nearly to one-half. Abdomen,

 bands on the hind tibiae and tarsi, spurs whitish.
