This remarkable form may be recognized by the large and very distinct 

 angle in the hind wings and the three black lines consisting of black dots 

 on the outer fourth of the fore wings, which are continued on the hind wings, 

 and by the row of black dots along the abdomen.

20 <$ and 5 9. — Of large size. Fore wings pointed at the apex, dis- 

 tinctly angulated on the outer edge. Hind wings square, the angle more 

 distinct than usual; outer edge slightly scalloped. Body and wings whitish- 

 ochreous. Head whitish on the vertex, black-brown in front; palpi blackish 

 above; tip blackish. Fore wings with three faint-ochreous lines, the inner 

 oblique, faint, and parallel with the middle line, the latter bent at nearly 

 right angles below the costa, the outer or extradiscal line bent at right angles 

 below the costa, and below much waved. Below the subcostal bend, this line 

 blends with a black patch, growing wider toward the inner angle of the wing. 

 Beyond is a diffuse, wavy, black line; when the dark patch is wanting, there 

 are two wavy submarginal lines. Hind wings with three lines, the inner one 

 ochreous, nearly touching the discal dot, running inside of it, the distance 

 between the two outer lines equal to the distance from the discal dot to the 

 inner of the two lines, the two outer lines usually blackish instead of ochre- 

 ous, -and discolored as on the fore wings. A marginal row of black dots on 

 both wings; fringe on both wings concolorous with the rest of the wings. 

 Beneath, whitish; costa ochreous; discal dots on both pairs of wings; a 

 single dark, wavy, extradiscal line on the fore wings ; no lines on posterior 

 pair; marginal dots distinct. Hind tibias of male very broad, dilated, no 

 spurs; tarsi but little longer than the tibiae are broad. 



Length of body, <?, 0.52, 9, 0.50; of fore wing, i, 0.55, 9, 0.60; 

 expanse of wings, 1.15-1.20 inches.
