Wings black; primaries thickly dotted with yellow at the base, form- 

 ing transverse lines ; a great number of irregular yellow spots on their 

 middle, scattered and unequal in size; a sub-marginal row of yellow 

 spots; and another row, much less, situated upon the indentations; ex- 

 cepting the first, which is oblong, the spots of the sub-marginal line 

 gradually increase towards the inner angle. These two rows are con- 

 tinued on the secondaries to the anal angle, becoming, however, much 

 larger and more lunate. 



A broad transverse yellow band across the upper portion of the hind 

 wings, very irregular posteriorly, and varying considerably in the size, 

 shape and number of the spots ; having at either end a colored spot. 

 that on the costal margin being black, (in one specimen I have, dark 

 reddish-brown,) containing a blue arc; that on the abdominal margin 

 bright reddish-brown, with a blue luiiule above it, sometimes obsolete.
