Normal form of ornamentation obliterated. Upper aide of pri- 

 maries lias the luisal half covered with an orange yellow 

 blotch; subapical white spots confluent. Secondaries orange 

 yellow ; on costal parts blackish, this colour extending along 

 (he veins to outer margin ; before it reaches the latter this 

 colour broadens into diamond-shaped marks; a submarginal 

 row of white spots. Under side of primaries much as above, 

 but with a broad white submarginal band. Secondaries mot- 

 lied pale greyish, with a broad white marginal band ; in some 

 instances nearly the whole surface of secondaries beneath is 

 white, in others the white predominates on the upper surface 

 to the greater exclusion of the black. Two examples, Mus. 

 Mrs. Eridgham, taken in N. Jersey. 



|ab. I). ATE, NOB. Upper surface primaries suffused heavily with 



blackish, the normal markings entire! v gone, ihe orange 

 confined to a blotch on disc on half of wing towards ihe 

 inner margin, said blotch merging into the blackish on 

 all sides; the large subapical white bar entirely wanting. 

 Secondaries obscured with blackish, the row of black spots 

 faintly discernible and pupilled with white points. Under 

 side primaries much as on upper side, secondaries black ex- 

 cept along the abdominal margin where the ordinary colour- 

 ation and marking is retained; veins white; the six ocelli 

 as in ordinary form ; a narrow yellowish or clay coloured 

 margin exteriorly. Body white beneath. Mus. Streck.
