sides of the thorax, ferruginous: wings on the 

 basal two-thirds blackish-brown ; the outer third 

 pale fulvous, on the superior wings divided by 

 blackish-brown margined nervures, and marked 

 by two distant series of dots of a similar colour, 

 the exterior of which is obsolete ; on the margin 

 of the inferior wings the two series of dots are 

 hardly to be traced : beneath, on the superior 

 wings, the blackish-brown basal portion has from 

 six to eight ochraceous spots, of which the ex- 

 ternal ones are longitudinal, and those nearer the 

 base are nearly transverse ; intervening between 

 these two sets of spots, are two opalescent spots, 

 placed transversely, and sometimes confluent; 

 exterior third of the wing ochraceous, deeper to- 

 wards the anterior angle, and with two distinct 

 fuscous spots ; inferior wings, on the basal two- 

 thirds reddish-brown, with two small distant 

 silvery spots on the anterior margin, and a series 

 of obsolete dull silvery lines behind the middle ; 

 exterior third of these wings ochraceous, with a 

 marginal series of seven short silvery lines.
