 tegmina light cinereous or brownish fuscous, more or less sprinkled 

 with small dark fuscous spots throughout, generally absent from the 

 inner field and infrequent near the apex ; wings coral-red at base 

 with an arcuate, extra mesial, not very broad band of blackish fuscous 

 crossing the wing and emitting baseward a broad shoot, two thirds 

 at least of the distance to the base in the upper area of the wing, 

 separated from the costal margin only by a narrow streak of coral- 

 red; below, the arcuate band follows the border nearly to the anal 

 angle, diminishing only a little in width as it passes ; apex of wing 

 pellucid, very slightly fuliginous outwardly, all the veins coarsely 

 biack; hind legs brownish yellow quadrifasciate with blackish; hind 

 tibiae dark plumbeo-fuscous, with a whitish annulation next the base.

 above, the sides and face more frequently brownish yellow, not in- 

 frequently with a broad, more or less obscure band of this color,

 der of the head ; above this the front is often much mottled ; antennas 

 yellowish at base, beyond dusky. Pronotum rugose, pinched on either

 brownish fuscous, sometimes pale yellowish cinereous, the median 

 carina marked by a small \/- sna P e d black spot in the middle, and

 by oblique black dashes broadest next to the border, which they do 

 not generally reach; lateral lobes of pronotum generally marked 

 iu the middle by a rather large, quadrate, dusky spot; tegmina
