blending, acquire a bluish metallic lustre posteriorly, and are continued in angulated lines 
across the wing : the basal patch is brownish, irrorated with fuscous scales, occupying fully one 
third of the dorsal margin ; its outer edge leaving the dorsal margin at first straight, but 
quickly becoming oblique, is strongly angulated about the middle : two shining metallic steel-

their base. Hind wings pale brownish grey, with a distinct line of the same colour running 
within the paler cilia. Type ? .
