Palpi short, reddish ochreous, the apical joint obtuse. Head, antennae, and fore wings 

 reddish ochreous; the latter with minute transverse irregular reddish-brown streaks, the 

 most conspicuous of these forming the inner margin of an oblique subobsolete central fascia, 

 which contains some purplish-fuscous scales towards the costa and below the middle, and 

 reaches the dorsal margin before the anal angle. Beyond the middle of the costa is a spot 

 also containing a shade of purplish fuscous, and indicating a subobsolete abbreviated fascia 

 pointing towards the apical margin above the anal angle ; there is also a subobsolete 

 outwardly obliqiie basal patch, indented above the middle. Hind wings pale greyish ochreous, 

 darker towards the abdominal margin : cilia concolorous, but very shining. Type ? . Ex- 

 panse of the wings 26 millims.

Head and palpi brownish ochreous ; thorax and antennae deep brownish red. Fore wings 

 — with the costa arched to the middle, flattened towards the apex ; an appressed costal fold 

 at the base in the male; the apical margin not indented, slightly oblique — deep brownish red, 

 with several paler transverse streaks and mottlings, especially noticeable above the anal 

 angle and before the middle of the dorsal margin ; with three conspicuous shining yellowish- 

 white costal spots — the first halfway between the middle and the base of the wing, elongate 

 oblique, abruptly terminated on the upper edge of the cell ; the second triangular (not oblique 

 or fasciseform, as in some varieties of the same species from California), interrupted on the 

 costa by one or two minute reddish-brown costal dots ; the third near the apex, smaller than 

 the preceding ones, blending into a pale streak before the apical margin. Hiud wings 

 brownish fuscous, with a reddish tinge towards the apex. Expanse of wings 20 millims. 



In paler varieties, such as fig. 6, the reddish-brown colour is restricted to an oblique 

 median fascia, a costal spot, and an indistinctly mottled basal patch, all possible intermediate 

 gradations being met with.
