64 TbE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Primaries with eleven transparent white spots, upon which an ordinary 

 lens shows regular rows of small black scales — the spots, as follows : Near 

 the end of the cell (apparently open) are two spots, separated by the 

 cellular fold and extending to the enclosing veins (subdorsal and median) 

 — the upper one twice as large as the lower and prolonged backward 

 superiorly in one or two teeth — the lower one subtriangular in shape ; 

 above and in line with these two, in cell lo, is a small elongated spot — the 

 smallest on the wing, while beneath them and in range, in cell 2, extend- 

 ing from vein 2 to vein 3, is the largest spot on the wing, enlarged 

 superiorly and excavated inwardly. Outside of this discal band of four 

 spots, are seven others, bordered by dark brown, and arranged in an 

 irregular curve, as follows : in cells 9, 8 and 7, three costo-apical spots, 

 oblique to the costa ; outside of these, in cell 6, a spot ; in cell 5, still 

 nearer the margin, another ; in cell 4, a little farther removed from the 

 margin, another — these last three subtriangular in shape ; in cell 3, 

 extending from vein to vein, a subquadrate spot, placed farther from the 

 margin, about equidistant with the lower costo-apical spot ; these seven 

 spots, commencing at the costa and omitting the fifth, show a regular 

 increase in size. Outside of these transparent spots, is a series of obscure 

 dark brown intranervular subterminal spots which merge into the dark 

 brown shade of the margin. Inside of these spots, the wing shows by 

 oblique light a purplish reflection approaching a grape bloom but more 

 vivid, with the exception of the internal margin and two brown bands of 

 the color of the outer margin and posterior wings ; the bands extend from 

 the subcostal to the internal vein ; the outer and broader embraces the 

 discal band of transparent spots in its outer margin, and the other crosses 

 the median vein at its intersection by vein 2 ; a brown shade rests also on 

 the base of the wing. 



Secondaries traversed at about their outer third by a narrow obscure 

 brown band, inside of which the wing is dark brown ; outside of this 

 band, the subterminal series of brown spots of the primaries is continued. 



Beneath, the purplish reflection of the upper surface appears only at 

 the tip of the wing — the median and basal portions being dark brown, 

 concolorous with the secondaries inside of the paler brown band ; the 

 obscure intranervular brown spots of the upper surface are repeated, and 

 continued on the secondaries ; the transparent spots are without the lines 

 of brown scales.
