 out any yellow overscaling. Antemedial fascia about as in 0. fuscalbcma; post- 

 medial more irregular, and broken into by patches of the black ground; the 

 blackish medial area extending in two strong teeth at the end of the cell with a

 band extending to the anal angle; the two enclosing a triangular blackish patch 

 between them. Outer part of wing blackish, with strong paired white costal 

 striae, and a couple of longer white striae, defining the usual subterminal patch. A

 base confined to costal and dorsal edges. Scaling sometimes gathering to form a
