 Palpi porrect, obtuse, brownish on the outer side, silvery white

 extremely short. Abdomen extending somewhat beyond the hind 

 wings. Wings with two slightly denticulated aeneous-brown lines, 

 and with a marginal band of the same hue, as is also the fringe; 

 second line deeply undulating. Fore wings acute, with an aeneous- 

 brown costal stripe, which extends along three-fifths of the length 

 from the base ; a white brown-bordered point and an exterior white 

 brown-bordered reniform mark ; marginal band dilated about the 

 interior angle ; exterior border slightly convex, moderately oblique. 

 Hind wings with the marginal band attenuated hindward, dilated 

 near the interior angle, to which it does not extend. Length of the 

 body 3 lines j of the wings 8 lines. 



This species has much resemblance to B. signatalis, from which 

 it may be distinguished by its much smaller size and by the differ- 

 ence in the marginal band.
