Fore wings dark purple-gray; lines distinct, dentate, irregular. A 

 fine black basal streak. Half-line deeply dentate on median vein. 

 Anterior line dentate, forming a large tooth below submedian vein, 

 which nearly touches a prolonged sharp tooth from the posterior line. 

 Orbicular a little oblique, reniform subquadrate; both stigmata con- 

 colorous, with black annuli, and shaded interior ringlets. Posterior line 

 with acutely dentate teeth over submedian nervules, nearly touching 

 the reniform, forming a double tooth submedially, the first and shortest 

 on vein 2, the second nearly touching the opposite tooth of the anterior 

 line shaded with black. Fringes concolorous with minute white points 

 opposite the veins. Hind wings concolorus fuscous, with an exceed-

 wings saturated with reddish, fuscous discal marks, and a faint com

 the sides; abdomen purplish. Expansion, 40 millimetres. Oldtown, 

 Me. {Mr. Charles Fish). It cannot be mistaken for any other from its 

 purplish primaries with distinct marks, the shape of the t. p. line, and 

 the warm tint of the hind wings.
