undulating, very slightly produced at the extremity of the third 
median nervule. Fringe of the same brown color as the adjacent 
parts of the wings. Ground color of the upper surface bright ru- 
fous, basal area darker, and the margins broadly shaded with dark 
brown traversed by a dark undulating submarginal line. Anterior 
wings with a small <^- shaped mark in the cell near the base, fol- 
lowed by a figure 8 mark. This is succeeded by a narrow undu- 
lating line running from the costa to the submedian nerve. A 
slightly curved line crosses the end of the cell, and is fused into the 
irregular transverse line which bounds the darker basal area out- 
wardly. This line starting on the costa just beyond the middle 
runs in sharp zigzags outwardly as far as the lower radial nervule, 
makes a sharp zigzag between the lower radial and the third median 
nervule, returns along the latter nearly to its origin and then sweeps 
inwardly and down with slight undulations to the inner margin. 
The bright rufous portion of the wing, just beyond the line which 
has been described, is crossed by a fascia of paler fulvous, inter- 
rupted between the lower radial and the third median nervule, and 
defined externally by a fainter line. A series of four small and ob- 
scure dots marks each of the intraneural spaces below the lower 
subcostal nervule. Posterior wings. — Anterior margin broadly 
shining testaceous. The basal, median and submarginal lines of 
the upper wing are continued upon the secondaries. A few indis- 
tinct circles of brown appear on the limbal area between the veins. 
Lower surface. Anterior wings w r ith a white bifid subapical spot 
near the costa, and a pale apical shade. The prevalent color is 
grayish castaneous. The wing below the cell from just beyond the 
base to the submarginal area is covered with a broad patch of sooty 
black scales. The form of the lines and markings is in the main 
as on the upper surface. Posterior wings grayish castaneous, fad- 
ing on the outer third into pale ashen gray ; the cell crossed by a 
regularly curved basal line of dark brown, and followed by a broader 
band of the same color, which is deeply sinuate externally between 
the nervules, and is succeeded by an irregularly waved line of dark 
brown sharply defined internally, but externally diffused. A mar- 
ginal line of the same tint, regularly undulating, diffuse internally, 
externally sharply defined, completes the ornamentation of the un- 
der surface. Head, antennae, and thorax concolorous. The abdomen 
slightly paler on the under side.
