 second median nervules the smallest, elongated, and projecting beyond 

 the outer margin of the other two spots ; a small similar spot placed 

 below the lower outer angle of the third spot, and an opaque spot placed 

 above the uppermost spot not quite reaching the costa ; and with a 

 recurved series of from three to five dots before the apex. Hindwing with 

 the basal and abdominal areas sparsely clothed with long ochreous hairs. 

 Underside, forewing as above, but the lowest spot of the discal band 

 much larger, its inner margin straight, its outer margin blurred. Hind- 

 tving with an indistinct ochreous spot at the end of cell, and submarginal 

 series of similar spots, the two towards the anal angle rather more dis-
