line, from costa at 13 mm., slightly sinuous and excurved 

 to Rs, where it forms a rounded angle, inwardly oblique to 

 fold, then slightly excurved to hind margin at 12 mm. ; an 

 indistinct row of dark subterminal spots, indicating a dentate 

 line ; slight terminal dots between the veins ; fringe brown, 

 with pale line at base. 



Hind wing nearly unicolorous brown, except for the

 reniform circle whiter, more conspicuous, and with more 

 violet irroration on termen of hind wing (from about R^ to 

 tornus) ; a slight, distally pale-edged postmedial line on
