d 9 > 30-36 mm. Head, palpi, antennae, thorax, 

 abdomen, and legs dark-fuscous ; palpi, thorax, and abdomen 

 beneath whitish ; apiculus of antennas dull-reddish internally. 

 Forewings elongate, triangular, costa straight, termen 

 oblique, hardly rounded ; dark-reddish fuscous, without mark- 

 ings; stigma oblique, very narrow, entire, dull-whitish, edged 

 internally with its own width of black, from just above dor- 

 sum to base of vein 4, where there appears sometimes a small 

 white dot, generally absent, which in 9 i s slightly larger 

 and with an additional smaller dot below, which is also some- 

 times absent; cilia whitish. Spotted with fuscous. Hind- 

 wings with termen rounded, without markings; colour and 

 cilia as in forewings. Under-side of forewings dark-fuscous, 

 dorsum much lighter, becoming whitish at and above anal 

 angle ; spots of upper-side when present reproduced. Hind- 

 wing light-brown, suffused with grey ; generally a curved 

 series of 7 whitish interneural spots at | from base, some- 

 times absent; cilia of both sexes brownish-fuscous. Nearest 

 tyrrhus, Mab., but immediately separable from that species 

 by the form of the stigma, which in that species is very broad. 

 In general appearance not unlike Erynms fuliginosa, Misk., 

 but apart from the different cilia, which in that species is a 

 striking characteristic, it is at once recognized by the neura- 

 tion of forewings.
