first discal; a line indicated by some grey irroration on middle of 
costa, two small blackish dots obliquely between this and second 
discal stigma, and some slight greyish irroration above middle of 
dorsum ; a strongly excurved series of blackish dots from beneath 
costa at j- to dorsum at f, sinuate inwards above dorsum ; a 
marginal series of black dots round apical part of costa and termen : 
cilia pale greyish-ockreous, outer half whitish. Hindwings pale 
grey, tinged whitish towards base; basal f of costa expanded as 
a broad lobe or flap ; cilia whitish, a faint grey r subbasal shade. 
Forewings beneath with fringe of long expansible ochreous-whitish 
hairs extending beneath basal § of lower margin of cell, concealed 
beneath lobe of hindwings.

across wing, upper posterior angle black, and a suboblique black mark 
resting in a sinuation of upper edge; an oblique suffused grey spot 
on costa beyond middle ; a transverse dark grey praetornal blotch 
reaching | across wing, anterior edge irregular, posterior formed by 
a straight dark fuscous line extended almost to costa ; four black 
marginal dots round apex: cilia white. Hindwings light grey, 
apex and upper part of termen narrow^ whitish ; cilia whitish. 
Brazil, Bio Preto, between Boquerao and Sta. Rita ( Penthei •) ;

angle, 7 to costa; white, faintly tinged pale oehreous on costal 
half except posteriorly ; a semioval dark grey blotch extending on 
dorsum from base to beyond middle and reaching half across wing, 
edge with a rounded projection posteriorly indicating plical stigma, 
first discal stigma dark fuscous, rather before this ; a transverse- 
rectangular grey blotch from dorsum posteriorly reaching | across 
wing, its upper angle receiving anteriorly a rather oblique grey 1, 
fascia from middle of costa, dark fuscous second discal stigma in an 
indentation of anterior edge, a small cloudy light grey spot preced¬ 
ing blotch beneath this ; a cloudy grey spot resting on upper half
