moderately arched; hindmargin obliquely rounded; fuscous, 
mixed with darker fuscous; tufts fuscous, basal third of wing 
whitish, becoming fuscous tinged above and below middle ; a fine 
blackish irregularly dentate line, somewhat curved inwards in- 
dicating posterior boundary of basal patch, followed by a very 
broad fuscous fascia, anterior edge from before middle of costa 
to one-third of inner margin and bounded by the fine black line ; 
posterior edge ill-defined and lost in general ground-color, ex- 
cepting on lower two-thirds which is rounded by a fine black edged 
snow-white line, commencing at two-thirds of inner margin with 
two indentations below middle, and continued obliquely to more 
than two thirds across wing, thence suddenly angulated and ending 
in hindmargin above middle; in the angulation is a very dark 
fuscous patch with three teeth, the apices directed towards hind- 
margin ; a snow-white streak from above second angulation to 
anal angle ; a large black discal dot; cilia fuscous-whitish. Hind-
