(S . Primaries cupreous-brown, the base, costal area, and centre 

 of internal area irrorated with grey ; a subrnedian longitudinal streak 

 from base of inner margin to just beyond the end of discoidal cell, 

 and a transverse straight discal band, white ; fringe pale grey ; 

 secondaries sandy yellow, the base and outer border finely dusted 

 with pale grey ; fringe whitish ; body grey ; anal tuft testaceous : 

 wings below sandy yellow, fringe whity-brown, white internally ;

In one example obtained by Mr. Enys the longitudinal white 

 streak of primaries joins the discal white band, and the coloration 

 is altogether deeper than in the type. Mr. Enys took one specimen 

 at 6000 feet.

This species varies much in the outline of the central band of 

 primaries. I have not seen it with the falcate form of wing repre- 

 sented in Felder's figure.
