 curving costad in front : a rather conspicuous whitish stigma, 

 no brown bar upon cross-veins ; first discal line situated as in 

 dyras or nearer cell, second very faint, third rounded-angulate 

 at M 1 . here 7 mm. distant from outer margin, curving costad 

 in front, crossing SC 5 about 2 J mm. from subcostal fork ; fourth 

 line not double, parallel with third from costal margin to M 1 , 

 then continued straight to hind margin ; all the lines tawny, 

 not prominent ; spot M 2 encircled by a line ; hind margin

 side, more straight from costa to M 1 , situated in a vinaceous- 

 grey shade which extends from costal to distal margin. Hind 

 wing with three lines, first heaviest, at apex of cell, third 

 weakest, almost parallel with outer margin. Expanse : $ 80- 

 94 mm., 2 102-112 mm.
