 border fuscous, about one-sixteenth of an inch in width ; the fuscous 

 extending slightly inwards into the yellow between the veins. Stigma broad, 

 black, and semicircular \ very wide in proportion to its length ; extending 

 from stigma toward tip of wing is a rectangular fuscous spot. Inferiors 

 fuscous with an orange central area which is broken into four or iive 

 spots by the nerves. Under side : Superiors yellow with the usual fuscous 

 patch at base ; there are five fuscous spots on the outer third of wing, 

 which begin at the inner margin and extend upward, each one being
