 lipped with whitish: four hlaek dots on thorax, and one al the base of the 

 patagia, which are tipped with black; a lew golden-yellow hairs are scattered 

 over the thorax; two rows oi" black dots along the abdomen; edges of the wings 

 white. Legs black, ringed with white. Fore wiugs pale-gray, crossed by 

 numerous wavy and zigzag white' lines, originating from numerous black costal 

 stripes; live whitish zigzag lines before the discal dot. These lines are edged 

 with black, the basal one on the inside, the fourth on the outside. The 

 discal dot- is very distinct, and situated in a (dear space, occupying the middle 

 of the wing, with a costal band just over it. There are twelve of these short, 

 costal, black bands connected with fainter lines crossing the wing. Beyond 

 the discal dot is a double white line, with large scallops, terminating on the 

 costa; a submarginal, more finely-scalloped, whitish line, parallel with the 

 outer edge. Between these two lines, and about as far from the apex as the 

 costa, arc several black irregular dots, a part of them sometimes forming a 

 short black line, bordering the extradiscal whitish line. All these lines are 

 accompanied by scattered golden scales, but much less numerous (ban in (!. 

 jin/iita. A row of black spots at the base o( the fringe, composed of two twin 

 subtriangular dots, opposite to which the pale-gray fringe is checkered with 

 dusky. The discal dot is oval, black, and conspicuous. Hind w ings whitish- 

 smoky, tinged with flesh-color, entirely clear, with the fringe lineated at the 

 base, and otherwise as in the fore wings. The under side of the wings is 

 tinged with salmon color, becoming deeper toward the apex of the fore wings; 

 costa edged with black to just beyond the discal dot, which is large and promi- 

 nent; a subapical, broad, subtriangular, black patch extends from the costa to 

 the first median venule; a discal dot present on the hind wing; fringe more 

 distinctly checkered with black than above, and with a heavier black line on 

 the edge of the wing, interrupted by the venules.
