Grap’-ta fauw-nus. 
Expanse of wings, from two and one-fourth to two and 
three-fourths inches. 
Upper side of wings, deep orange fulvous, marked with 
brown and black, as in G. comma, only the markings are 
clearer and heavier. 
Under side of both wings, dark brown on the base, with 
an irregular, common, blackish band across the middle, 
darkest on its outer edge, and within the abdominal margin, 
where its outline is obliquely serrated; beyond this band, 
the color is pale brown, mottled with grayish white, which is 
clearest on the costa of the fore wings; the whole surface 
clouded with wine color, and more or less crossed by fine 
abbreviated streaks of dark brown; apex of fore wings, yel- 
lowish brown, with three small, lanceolate, rusty spots, the 
lower one enclosing a blue or green point; the outer margin 
of both wings below these, bordered by a series of confluent 
blue-black, sometimes olive-green spots, following the out- 
line of the wing ; a little before this, another series of rounded 
spots of the same color, those on the hind wings largest and 
sometimes having black centers. A white G, varying in 
form, in the middle of the under side of the hind wing.
