47 



point scarcely below the middle of the outer margin ; the other part of it 

 is directed at right angles to the upper portion. Fringe dull brown, 

 sometimes tinged with tawny, paling externally. 



Hind wings so broadly bordered as best to be described as dark 

 brown, with the central parts tawny ; in the male consisting of a 

 roundish patch cut by the nervures delicately traced in brown, extending 

 nearest to the outer border (a little more than an interspace distance 

 from it) on the lower subcostal nervure, and occupying the space 

 between this and the tip of the cell, and reaching from the lowest median 

 nervure to the middle of the subcostal interspace ; within the cell is an 

 obscure tawny patch, and the medio-submedian interspace is obscured by 

 some tawny hairs. In the female the fulvous colors are reduced to a 

 series of longitudinal streaks, separated by broadly marked nervures, 

 occupying the same place as the large patch of the male, but reduced in 

 breadth. Fringe pale dull fulvous, the basal half brownish. 



Beneath the markings are much the same, though scarcely so intense 

 as above, and on the hind wings of the male very much obscured ; 

 the tawny on both wings has become a dull lemon yellow, sometimes in 

 the female rather pale, and the brown, excepting in the lower half of the 

 fore wings, where it has turned to blackish fuliginous, has become obscure 

 tawny brown, in the female tinged with fuliginous; in the brighter 



portions the nervures are rather narrowly marked 

 with tawny or brownish tawny, in the darker 

 parts very faintly with yellowish or brownish 

 yellow ; the tip of the cell in the fore wings of the 

 male, and sometimes in those of the female, is 

 marked with an oblique blackish streak, and at 

 the tip of the cell of the hind wings of the male 

 is a small obscure blackish spot next the nervure 

 at either side. Fringe dusky, tipped with pale, 

 more broadly below than above. 



Abdomen black, the sides, especially on apical 

 half, largely tinged with fulvous ; beneath pale 

 yellowish, becoming tinged slightly with greenish 

 toward the tip. The appendages of the male are 

 shown on a side view in the accompanying 

 sketch. The upper organ is very strongly arched,
