 sides, and posteriorly. Forewinys shining, golden brown, with 

 five costal, and two dorsal, white streaks, more or less plainly 

 indicated ; the first costal is at about half the wing-length, and 

 further removed from the second than the others are from each 

 other ; the first dorsal is larger than the first costal, commencing 

 before it, but approaching it at its apex ; the second dorsal is 

 opposite to the second costal ; there is also a white basal streak, 

 sometimes produced as far as the first pair, and partially connected 

 with a small white dorsal streak ; the outer half of the wing is 

 thickly studded with black scales, which tend to form dark inner 

 margins to the first and second costal, and to the second dorsal 

 streaks, also an outer margin to the inverted costal streak before 

 the apex ; there is a conspicuous, elongate patch of similar black 

 scales, also before the middle, forming an inner margin to the 

 first dorsal streak ; terminal cilia golden brown at their base, with 

 a dark line dividing this from their paler outer ends. Exp. al.
