the apex of the fore wings and along the outer margin, 

 and over most of the hind wings, quite dense on the outer 

 margin. The spots on the fore wings are repeated, a 

 little enlarged, and accompanied by a fourth below the 

 others and towards the outer margin. The hind wings 

 have a mesial row of whitish points, not reaching either 

 margin, irregular, rather forming a double row, with a 

 similar point in the cell and two in the interspace above 

 the cell.

 the second interspace beyond the cell ; the fifth and sixth 

 are in the median interspaces, the sixth much larger than 

 any of the others ; the seventh some light scales above 

 the submedian vein, forming two indistinct spots. There 

 are traces of a small spot in the end of the cell. The 

 hind wings have a faint trace of a discal line. 



Under side lighter than the upper, overlaid with green-
