with dark brown ; marginal points dark brown ; reniform mark dark 

 brown, sublimate, nearer than usual to the base of the wing. Hind 

 wings brownish cinereous, with a brown discai mark and two brown 

 lines, which are almost obsolete above, but very distinct on the un- 

 der side. Length of the body 4 lines ; of the wings 10 lines. 



The characters of this species differ so much from those of the 

 preceding one that they can hardly be included in the same genus, 

 and they are but placed together until more specimens are known.
