Female. Testaceous, brown-speckled, cinereous beneath. Palpi 
slender, rather long, broadly fringed ; third joint less than half the 
length of the second, bare towards the tip, which is very acute. 
Wings rather broad. Fore wings hardly acute ; basal, interior and 
exterior lines brown, undulating ; submarginal line more con- 
spicuous than the preceding lines, diffuse on the inner side, fawn- 
bordered on the outer side ; exterior border convex, with a black 
lunulate line. Hind wings pale cinereous. Length of the body 
lines; of the wings 14 lines. 
Allied to the second South American group, but may form a 
distinct division in the genus.
