abdominal margin. The first is a continuation of the median shade, 

 reddish brown, passing before the discal dot, which is black, distinct. 

 The second line is black, tinged with reddish brown, formed of dots 

 on the nervules united together, and does not extend quite to the cos- 

 tal margin. The third is broad, undulating, formed of black, irregular 

 blotches, distinct on the abdominal margin, gradually becoming- 

 fainter, but generally reaching to the costa. The fourth line is red- 

 dish brown, interrupted, parallel to the third, not extending to the 

 costal margin. Three conspicuous marginal dots before the marginal 

 angle, and three, sometimes four, less strongly marked between it and 

 the anal angle. Wings beneath dirty white, powdered with black 

 scales. Discal dots large, black, distinct. Median shade blackish 

 brown, fainter than above, extending across both wings. Beyond 

 this, on the anterior wings, a series of black dots on the nervules, as 

 above. Beyond this line a faint gemminate black spot near the inter- 

 nal angle. Faint submarginal shades formed of united atoms. Margi- 

 nal dots present, not so distinct as above. Posterior wings with a 

 few faint shades corresponding to the lines above. These shades are 

 united and more conspicuous on the abdominal margin a little above 

 the anal angle, where they form a dark irregular blotch. The three 

 marginal dots before the marginal angle present; the others some- 

 times obliterated. Nervules distinct after the median shade. Fringe 

 concolorous.

Can be recognized by the elongated wings, both anterior and pos- 

 terior, by the acute marginal angle at the end of the second median 

 nervule of the posterior wings, by the oblique lines, and by the con- 

 spicuous marginal dots.
