along termen, from apex to termination of patch ; cilia grey- 

 whitish. Hindwings and cilia grey- whitish. 



I doubtfully refer this species to Capiia on account of the 

 form of the palpi, which are somewhat approximated to the 

 face, and veins 7 and 8 of forewings being extremely long- 

 stalked.

 mens ; in September.
