 a whitish mark between it and the exterior line, which has, as usual, 

 one very prominent tooth ; submarginal line very indistinct ; margi- 

 nal dots black. Hind wings luteous, with a much curved band, 

 which is slightly excavated along the fore part of its outer side, and

 fore one very short ; border much broader in front than hind ward, 

 where it has two slight excavations ; apical streak narrow, luteous.

This species may be especially distinguished from the pre- 

 ceding one by the much broader space betweeu the border and the 

 hind part of the band in the hind wings.
