 Wings above uniformly dark brown, with a very faint varying purple reflexion ; inner margin of 

 the hinder pair silky gray ; anal appendage bearing a saturated ferruginous lunule and confined 

 exteriorly by a white arc, behind which is a delicate black line gradually evanescent towards the 

 marginal notch ; a gray fringe surrounds the margins of all the wings : underneath ferruginous 

 brown with a glaucous gloss changing to purple according to the direction of the light; anal 

 area of the forewings ferruginous gray ; disk of all the wings marked with a short double 

 brownish litura ; between this and the posterior margin follows a delicate but distinct brown 

 strica with a purple gloss, consisting of minute linear fragments which in the fore wings are 

 regular and contiguous, forming a slightly curved striga commencing at a small distance from 

 the costa and terminating at the anal area ; in the hinder pair this striga passes over the whole 

 surface, being broken at the costa, slightly waving in the middle region, and then passing, after 

 several interruptions, to the inner margin, being marked in the anal region exteriorly with 

 several whitish angular clouds ; the whole of the anal portion of the wing is covered with a 

 saturated ferruginous band continued obliquely to the anterior apical angle, regularly defined 

 interiorly, and bearing exteriorly at the margin two very large circular spots, ferruginous- 

 brown, varying to purple and separated by a group of white atoms : the inner edge is orna- 

 mented with four delicate emerald-green marks with a golden lustre, the first near the middle of 

 the margin being short and linear, the second forming a semicircular arc above the exterior 

 ocellus, the third opposed to the intermediate group of atoms being angular or resembling the 

 letter V, the fourth forming a minute lunule over the interior ocellus from which it is continued 

 one-third of the length of the inner margin ; exteriorly the anal region is bordered by a delicate 

 grayish thread, beyond which a brownish fringe extends along the wings. Body brown above, 

 pale ferruginous gray underneath, antenna brown with numerous white bands on one side, tails 

 black tipt with white. 

 A single female specimen is contained in our collection.
