area, and is dusted and irregulary shaded with grayish scales. On costa 

 one-fourth distance from tip to base, between the subcostal nervules, three 

 (sometimes two or one) small white spots. Across centre of wing, extend- 

 ing from edge of costa across end of discoidal cell down to submedian 

 nervule, a whitish band of consecutive spots, of irregular form and vary- 

 ing distinctness, sprinkled more or less with brownish scales. In some 

 specimens this space shades off into ground colour, in others the edges 

 between spots and ground colour are distinctly marked, and bordered 

 with a darkish line. In centre of cell, an irregular whitish spot of same 

 character ; between this spot and the spot at end of cell, and below 

 submedian nervule, an irregular whitish spot, dusted more with brownish 

 scales. Base dark brownish-gray, with some grayish scales. The 

 suffusion of the ground colour is more marked in some specimens than 

 others, rendering an accurate general limitation of the spots difficult. 

 Some specimens show a slight yellowish tinge on white spots. Ground 

 colour of hindwings a blackish-brown, of more distinct character than 

 the ground colour of forewings. Costa white. Hind margin edged with 

 a dark line, within which, in interspaces, is a row of white specks, some- 

 times absent, which, at anal angle, are transversely elongated, forming an 

 indistinct line from inner margin to submedian nervule. Within these, 

 one-third distance to base, a row of brownish spots, extending from costa 

 to inner margin, parallel to hind margin, but not in line, and the one near 

 centre larger than the others, and drawn nearer to cell. Within these, 

 across centre of wing, a prominent whitish band, forming an extension of 

 the same on forewing, but of purer white, ending at submedian nervure. 

 Basal area of ground colour, but toward inner margin, covered with light 

 grayish hairs, which extend along margin to anal angle. Beneath general 

 colour is grayish-white, with a very slight yellowish-brown tinge, and 

 showing shadows of the markings above. Costa of forewing marked with 

 darkish-brown and white, reflecting markings above. Hind margin edged 

 with blackish-brown, and within, covering one-third of marginal area, 

 darkish-brown, with a row of white specks in interspaces. Costa of hind- 

 wing white, same as ground colour. Hind margin edged with a line of 

 blackish-brown, shading off into ground colour. In space below sub- 

 median nervule, the dark markings of upper side show more prominently 

 than elsewhere.

 Jose del Cabo, in Lower California, by Mr. M. Abbot Frasar, 1888.
