242 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



t. a. line quite well marked, strongly outwardly oblique to submedian vein, 

 ihence forming an acute angle, inwardly oblique to inner margin, dark 

 oliv.iceous green. Median shade of same colour, accompanying, rather 

 closely, t. p. line as far as lower edge of reniforni. T. p. line well marked, 

 dark olivaceous, strongly oblique, very slightly outcurved in upper portion 

 and incurved in lower portion of wing, extends from junction of middle 

 and outer third of inner margin nearly to apex, where it turns inward at 

 an acute angle to costa. A branch from the line as a shade to apex, 

 marks off the usual apical triangle. S. t. line indicated more by the 

 contrast between the terminal and subterminal space than by any actual 

 line. The subterminal space is darkest at inner margin, though somewhat 

 lighter than median space, showing more of the violaceous tint, this shade 

 gradually fading out and disappearing before reaching apex. The 

 terminal space is of a very pale yellow colour, with a slight olivaceous 

 greenish tinge, and' is the only part of the wing free from either the violet 

 or casta neous scales. Fringe at base same colour as terminal space, 

 darker externally, slightly waved dark olivaceous terminal line. A spot 

 on costa, blended with the dark filling between ordinary spots, seems to 

 mark the origin of the median shade. Ordinary spots concolorous, not 

 prominent, faintly outlined with dark olivaceous rings. Secondaries pale 

 yellowish, with a very famt olivaceous tinge, very slightly dusted with 

 fuscous as far as s. t. line. Faint though distinct dusky median and 

 subterminal bands, dusky discal bar. Fringe concolorous with wing, with 

 a slightly waved darker olivaceous line at base. Beneath, fore wings of 

 male yellowish beyond mesial line, dusky in cell, whitish along inner 

 margin, pale spot at end of cell, indicating position of reniform above, 

 faint, obscure discal dot. Mesial band distinct in upper half of wing, 

 fading out below. In certain lights a slight difference in shade suggests 

 a s. t. line. Veins somewhat darkened. The female below, has wing less 

 dusky, more uniform, yellowish. S. t. line is more marked. The mesial 

 band extends to inner margin. Secondaries pale yellowish along costa 

 and outer half of wing. Lighter towards base and inner margin. Distinct 

 mesial band and discal bar. 



Beneath, ^ has the yellow more uniform of wing, only slightly paler 

 at base.
