markings on the basal half. Fore wings with the costa dark reddish 

 fawn-colour ; both wings suffused with fawn-colour, and covered with 

 striatious of the same colour, some of which are more or less con- 

 nected and form eleven or twelve striated lines across both the wings ; 

 reniform whitish in some specimens, with a brown ring in others, 

 merely indicated by a black point, sometimes obsolete ; marginal 

 points brown ; fringe reddish. Underside with the striations formed 

 into regular lines, crossing the wings, and darker than they are 

 above. It is rather a variable insect. I have one with the striations 

 above on the centre of the hind wing blackish, making the wing look 

 as if it had a central indistinct band.
