discucellular bar mostly dilated at siibcostals, edj^-ed white distally, sometimes 

 nearly joined to the upper median bar, which is dilated basad, by means of some 

 black dots standing; between SC and SO"; submedian bars M' — (SM') present, 

 forminij;- a short line that crosses M'- at right angles about 2 mm. from cell ; it is 

 bordered white proximally, and does not reach (SM'): median bar M-— (SM') mostly 

 close to the corresponding snbmedian one, often confluent with it, extended to (SM') ; 

 median bar M' — M" more distal, varying in position, its upper end at least H mm- 

 from origin of M' ; bar R^ — M' still more distal : bar R' — R' about 1 to U mm. from 

 cell at U-, but at R^ sometimes touching discocellular bar ; liar R'— R' about 

 10 mm. from cell, curved, the preceding two placed a little more proximad ; white 

 patches resp. spots at outside of median bars as above, but those between S<J and 

 M' larger, spot R' — R- touching or nearly touching discal line, white scaling also at 

 outside of bar SC'- — SC" ; submarginal spots luniform or bar-shaped, forming a con- 

 tinuous line from costal margin to SM-', mostly joined along the veins to the white 



discal line. Hiudwing : snbmedian and median lines curved, the latter crossing 



M between M' and JP ; median band 5i to 8 mm. wide anteriorly, reaching down to 

 M-, its outer edge evenly concave from costal margin to R^ bordered by the black 

 discal line ; three red luniform discal spots, bordered distally by the black postdiscal 

 lunules; discal spots SC"— R' clayish ochraceous, slightly (seldom more heavily) 

 tinged red, often very faintly marked; spot R- — R' sometimes absent: spot (J— SL'- 

 oliliquely concave distally, broadest in front, yellowish red, but shading into clayish 

 ochraceous behind; spots C— SC" and R'— R' bordered black, SC-— R' bordered white 

 (or white and black) outwardly ; submarginal black spots somewhat triangular, the 

 posterior ones more or less rounded. 



Upper cell-bar of forewing, submedian bars of fore- and hiudwing outwardly, the 

 median bars and discocellular bar proximally bordered plumbeous.
