straight and very distinct; submarginal line more undulating and 

 more indistinct than the exterior one ; reniform mark indicated by 

 some black scales. Hind wings pale cinereous ; exterior third part 

 brown. Length of the body 4£ lines ; of the wings 11 lines. 



Allied to B. Ulricusalis, but differing from that species in the 

 discal marks of the fore wings, and in the distance of the sub- 

 marginal line from the exterior line.
