apex more produced than in H. marcessaria, being acutely falcated. 

 Abdomen without the two rows of black dots present in marcessaria. 

 Fore wings uniform fawn color, body and hind wings paler. An 

 inner straight brown line, edged externally with yellowish brown; 

 outer line slightly sinuate. Discal dot large oval lanceolate ; two 

 conspicuous dark spots midway between the outer line and the edge 

 of the wing, one being subapical in position. Fringe on both wings a 

 little darker than the wings themselves. No markings on hind wings, 

 no discal dot. Beneath, a decided ochreous tinge, no lines, discal 

 dots distinct on both wings ; fringe considerably darker than the rest 

 of the wing. ? differs from d in the lines being farther apart. 



Length of body <S .50, ? .50 inch; of fore wing <S .60, ? .66 inch.

This species differs from marcessaria Guen. and cineraria Pack., in 

 the much more pectinated antennas and the absence of lines on the 

 under side of the wings, which beneath are clear ochreous, not speckled 

 with dark scales, while the two spots with the discal spot arranged in 

 a triangle, gives it a characteristic appearance.

Two 9 , collected by Mr. J. Holleman, differ from those previously 

 described by me in some important respects ; the present description 

 therefore applies better to the more normal form of the species. 

 Pale whitish grey. Orbits and palpi tinged with ochreous. Fore 

 wings with four costal spots, from which more or less obsolete lines 

 run in a faint series of dots across the wing, second spot the broadest, 

 the discal dot forming a part of the line, third spot forming with a 

 part of the line proceeding from it, a large irregular S extending to 

 the middle of the wing, the line continuing beyond in an interrupted 

 series of fine dots, and with a supplementary spot at the end of the 

 S. Halfway between the S and the apex is a fourth small costal dot. 

 Hind wings with an obscure discal spot, and a submarginal transverse 

 shade; the wing is faintly mottled with smoky dots. Beneath both 

 wings with fine transverse subochreous spots, the lines appear beneath 

 of a smoky ochreous, the third line being less sigmoid than above, as 

 it is curved outwards to the angle, and then goes obliquely and in a 

 straight course to outer third of inner side. Discal dots distinct, as 

 above. Hind wings with a distinct outer subochreous broad band 

 near the edge of the wing. A row of dark dots along edge of both 

 wings.
