 third; a large oblique streak beyond the middle, becoming attenuated 

 in the middle of the wing and continuing as a line of dark scales to 

 the middle of the hind margin; a scarcely defined grouping of 

 dark-tipped scales before the apex on the costa; a rather large semi- 

 circular spot on the middle of the dorsum, with a few darker scales 

 on its inner side on the fold. Cilia whitish, with a dark line from
