erse lines, and a siibmarginal, broad, smoke-gray band, filling up the scallops 

 of the siibmarginal white line. On the under side of the hind wings, which 

 are white, are four well-marked lines, two within and two beyond the large 

 round discal dot ; the two outer lines are deeply scalloped, the points lung 

 and parallel; the marginal line of round or triangular dots is very distinct. 

 Abdomen brown. Legs brown, spotted with white. 



Length of body, ?, 0.32; of fore wing, 9, 0.46; expanse of wings, 1.00 

 inch.

One of the best-marked species of the genus. It is separated from the 

 others by the long wings, short obtuse palpi, the white head and thorax, and 

 the deep-russet or tan-brown costal edge of the fore wings, interrupted by 

 white spots, and contrasting with the white surface of the wing; and by the 

 multilineated hind wings.

4 $ , 2 9 . — In this pretty species, the wings are much longer than usual ; 

 the outer edge being very oblique, the head very prominent, the prothorax being 

 lather long, and the palpi rather short, very broad, passing beyond the front 

 by a distance equal to that between the base of the antennae; while, in the 

 species previously described, the palpi surpass the front by a distance equal to 

 the length of the head itself. They are black, with a few white scales along 

 the middle of the side ; front edge of front blackish ; front itself and vertex 

 whitish; thorax whitish, with a few black scales. Fore wings pale-gray. Base 

 of costa dark tan-brown, terminating abruptly in a slightly-curved black line, 

 ending in the middle of the median space ; costa throughout dark reddish- 

 brown, interrupted by four white spaces. Just before the middle of the wing 

 is an oblique blackish band, directed outward and passing below the subcostal 

 vein. Just above the raised discal dot is a square, dark-reddish, costal patch, 

 succeeded by two white, short lines. Half-way between these and the apex 

 are two twin white costal bands, with a 'broad, dark-red patch on each side. 

 Beyond is a squarish, reddish-brown patch, and the extreme apex is gray. 

 The base of the wing below the costa is quite clear, with scattered dark 

 scales, and a black linear spot on the end of the median vein at the origin of 

 its branches. From this spot, a linear reddish line extends to the discal dot,
