THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 295 



Under side of fore wings, mouse colour. Hind margin edged with a 

 black thread. Starting at second subcostal nervule at a point one 

 quarter distance from apex to base, is a jet-black line, running downwards 

 parallel to hind margin, and ending at lower submedian nervule. Three 

 sixteenths inch within this line is another running from costa to lower 

 submedian nervule, not quite parallel to the first line but approaching it 

 somewhat at its lower part ; at the lower submedian nervule this line 

 turns at a right angle and crosses inner marginal space. Across end of 

 discoidal space is a black line. Nervures and nervules are somewhat 

 darker than ground colour. 



Under side of hind wings same colour as fore wings. Hind margin 

 edged with a black thread. Beginning at costal nervure at a point one 

 third distance from base to apex is a heavy jet-black line running down- 

 wards, towards anal angle, crossing subcostal nervure at its junction with 

 first subcostal nervule, and ending at median nervure. Outside of this 

 about one eighth inch, is a second heavy jet-black line, starting at first 

 subcostal nervule, and running down to lower submedian nervule, 

 striking it one eighth inch above hind margin. Another similar line 

 starts at apex and runs downwards, one quarter inch within hind margin, 

 joining the last-metioned line at lower submedian nervule. Betwixt this 

 and hind margin, but much nearer the margin, is a black line, scarcely 

 visible at apex, but becoming more prominent as it approaches anal 

 angle. The area at lower angle described on upper surface is black, the 

 tails also. The blue line crossing it is the same as on upper surface. 

 Just above this, in interspace, above submedian nervure, is a black line 

 forming a circle, dusted with blue at its lower inside edge. In the inner 

 marginal space are two parallel black threads, starting near base and 

 crossing downwards to submedian nervure ; the first is edged with blue 

 on its lower side, the second edged with blue on its upper side. The 

 nervures and nervules are black.
