“patches at end of veins, on all wings. Hind wings rounded, 
ler subcostally, otherwise the same arrangement of lines as on fore 
ings but without darker basal area, and much more obscure. Discal 
a faint. Beneath grayish white. The double series of pale 
$ as above, very apparent, almost pure white, and the separating 
iscal runs outward to discal dot, though not always touching it, turns 
kward to inner margin at almost a right angle, and extra discal with 
‘d curve around discal dot, reaches inner margin one-half out.

18 mm. Palpi long dark brown, mixed gray scales. Ver- 
dark brownish ash. Thorax and abdomen above, dark 
scales intermixed, the second segment 
and seventh, with black dots laterally; 
somewhat extended, above dark ashen 
yellowish, the latter more apparent on fore 
and four, and subterminally, especially 
all is a thin sprinkling of black scales, heaviest 
and subterminally. Basal area to discal line is crossed 
indefinite lines, of darker hue. The black discal line curves 
outward at costa, then recedes toward base, touching inner 
_ ‘Margin, one-third out. It is,faint and narrow, bordered by a pale 
* also faint, starts from costa, with an ill- 
; defined cloud above discal dot, extends outward to include same, 
_ and thence straight to inner margin. In rubbed examples this line is 
frequently wanting, with the discal space paler and clear. The extra 
discal with its succeeding double pale lines, are sharp and distinct, 
the former black, more intense centrally, where also a few white 
scales border it outwardly. It curves gently outward around cell, 
without costa, to inner margin, having sharp inward spurs 
two. Subterminal space darker; the central clear
