remaining portion brick red, both portions being marked with silvery gray 

 or silvery white, according to the light, and the basal third entirely suffused 

 or overlaid with the silvery hue, except three spots, one of which is just 

 within the dorsal margin, another oblong larger one is within the costal 

 margin and a much larger elliptical one is on the fold. From the silvery - 

 part of the wing, at about the middle of the disc, a silvery streak curves 

 obliquely backwards to the brick red color at the fold, where it intersects 

 another silvery streak, which leaves the dorsal margin before the ciliae (at 

 the junction of the olive green and brick red) and curves obliquely back- 

 wards to a point in the middle of the apical part of the wing, where it 

 intersects still another silvery streak, which leaves the apical margin near 

 the hinder angle and curves obliquely forwards to a point within the costal 

 margin at the junction of the olive green and brick red colors. On the 

 costal margin, and opposite to the end of the last mentioned streak, is a 

 small ochreous spot, and in it begins another silvery streak which curves 

 obliquely backwards to the apical margin before the apex, running nearly 

 parallel to the last above-mentioned silvery streak, and being intersected 

 by a small costal silvery streak which also arises from a small costal ochre- 

 ous spot ; further back are two other small costal ochreous spots, each 

 of which contains a small black line. Ciliae dark bluish brown, with two 

 ochreous spots beneath the apex, and a dark brown hinder marginal line at  

 the base, before which is an indistinct line of black atoms. From about 

 the basal third of the wing length to the apex the extreme costa is dark 

 brown interrupted by ochreous spots, and the basal third is ochreous 

 interrupted by three or four dark brown spots. Thus the basal half of the 

 wing is olive green suffused with silvery, except upon the three spots before 

 mentioned, while the apical half is brick red divided by anastomosing 

 silvery lines. Under a lens the silvery parts of the wing appear to be 

 dusted with brown. 



The hind wings are fuscous, pale at. the base, deepening towards the 

 apex. Ciliae yellowish silvery with a dark brown hinder marginal line at 

 the base. Abdomen dark brown above, ochreous below. Legs ochreous, 

 the first pair dark brown on their anterior surfaces, and the tibiae of the 

 hind pair fuscous on their anterior surfaces ; tarsi dark brown on the 

 outer surface, annulate with fuscous. Al. ex., £ , 9^ lines ; £ , 8 lines.

This insect is chiefly interesting from its larval habits. I have known 

 the larva long, and it is mentioned, I believe, in a previous paper in the
