Male. Brown, slightly cinereous-speckled. Abdomen cinereous. Fore

 stripe along the interior border. Hind w r ings paler brown; fringe 

 whitish, interlined with brown. Length of the body 7-8 lines ; of

 spicuous is the different outline of the pale part about the interior angle 

 of the fore wings.
