a fine line with the upper discocellular. Internal to this spot a 
faint suggestion of another. Base finely powdered with black 
scales. 
Underside. Primaries. Ground color, brown, lightened along 
costal and subcostal' margin with a creamy buff. Marginal lines 
brown; oval spots cream buff, bordered internally with dark 
brown triangles, the posterior two darker in color. Wavy sub- 
discal black band of upper side repeated, but wider; bordered ex- 
ternally with a shading of cream-buff, except in posterior inter- 
space. The limbal row of black circular spots are reduced to 
three or four. 
The subapical area is shaded with a ground color of deep 
brown. Other markings as on upper side. 
Secondaries. Unsilvered, except for a slight suggestion on 
submarginal ovals. Fine double marginal lines, bounded inter- 
nally by a line of seven oval cream colored (or slightly silvered) 
spots, — these in turn bounded by seven triangular brown spots, 
encroaching on a limbal band of creamy-buff. Ground color of 
discal and basal areas is deep brown, lightened in certain areas 
by creamy buff scales. An outer discal row of seven irregular 
oval spots, creamy buff, the fourth reduced to a mere spot, — and 
the posterior one very irregular. These are all shaded medially 
with black scales, and laterally with slight suggestion of brown. 
Three large irregular spots of same color occur on inner side of 
discal area, and three small spots, the centre one only distinct, 
are placed in the basal area. Abdomen, brown above, yellow 
brown below. Thorax blackish brown above, yellow brown be- 
low. 
Female. Expanse 2 inches, (51 millimeters). 
Upper side, Primaries. Differs from male as follows : Ground 
color slightly lighter, particularly in costal and subcostal area 
which is slightly yellowed, fringes nearly white where cream 
colored on male. Nervules not bordered with black, and reduced 
to delicate lines, submarginal oval spots, yellow brown. 
Secondaries. Submarginal ovals lighter than ground color. 
Underside Primaries. Posterior half, ground color, red-brown, 
anterior half, cream buff. Submarginal ovals, slightly silvered 
anteriorly. 
Secondaries. Submarginal ovals more or less silvered, also 
spot in centre of disc, which is double instead of single. 
Ground color of basal and discal areas slightly more of a 
purplish brown than on male.
