common to both wings, and is broadly angulated on the hind wings; just 

 beyond, nearer the line than the edge of the wing, is a faint brownish shade, 

 consisting at times of long lunules interrupted by the veins; this shade is 

 common to both wings (and is sometimes obsolete) ; diseal dots rather large, 

 dark brown; fringe rather pale where the outer border is pale, and with a 

 violet hue or darker brown, and checkered opposite the termination of the 

 venules. Hind wings like the fore wings, except that the inner line is 

 wanting; beneath, distinctly ochreous, with dense reddish " strigse ; outer 

 common line \i y vy distinct, shaded externally with dull violet mingled with 

 whitish; fringe dull violet, checkered with darker; diseal dots distinct 

 reddish, whitish on the inner edge of both wings; often the strigae are 

 tawny, and the fringe is whitish, and the violet tinge wanting, while the degree 

 of mottling varies, being occasionally very dense, giving a tawny appearance 

 to the under side; the inner line is sometimes wanting; in one case, the 

 brown shading along the common line lias a faint greenish tint. 



It may be at once known by the broad, large angle of the outer line, 

 and its violet hue, the yellowish under side, and its small size. In a female 

 from Kansas, the under side is bright ochreoiis-yellow.

 is a much rubbed hypochraria.
