 (Fig. 314.) 



Palpi, face, head, and thorax grayish fuscous with scale ends 

 tipped with white giving them an ashy appearance. Fore wing ashy 

 gray; a brownish-ochreous outwardly curved spot on dorsum near 

 base; a similar smaller, fainter smear of color on dorsum just before 

 tornus, sometimes connected with an indistinct band of the same 

 color from outer third of costa, forming a rather obscure postmedian 

 fascia ; but in average specimens this fuses into a dark shade which 

 occupies most of the outer third of wing above the middle; these 

 dark shadings have a semi-lustrous rather bronzy tint especially on 

 outer part of wing; costa with four pairs of short, somewhat ob- 

 scured, white geminate marks beyond middle; cilia whitish, dusted, 

 lined and spotted with dark fuscous; ocelloid spot pale but not dis- 

 tinctly marked. Hind wing very pale smoky fuscous; shining; 

 cilia white with a dark basal band. Underside of fore wing pale 

 shining fuscous with white geminations on outer half of costa dis- 

 tinct. Underside of hind wing nearly white, slightly smoky, and
