vules. The lowest spot is largest and triangular, the succeeding one 

 in the 3rd m. space is sublunate and oblique. The three costal and 

 subcostal ones are united ; the outer and submarginal row is dislocated 

 on the lower subcostal ; the lower portion consisting mostly of lunate 

 spots, the upper one rounded, while the costal spot in the upper por- 

 tion which is set back from the apex, is connected with the second 

 small spot, forming a produced triangle. 



Secondaries orange-yellow. Two transverse broad bands, the inner 

 very irregular, crossing the wing a little beyond the inner third, ex- 

 panding very much outwards towards the long diseal spot which is 

 bent inwards somewhat. Below it dilates inwards and continues along 

 just beneath the median nervure. It also runs along the internal mar- 

 gin of the wing to the base, thus leaving but two long yellow stripes, 

 one above, the other below the m. nervure. The outer submarginal 

 band is regular, except that it is dilated outwards a little in the diseal 

 space, and expands upon the costa. 



Beneath, both wings are yellow, while the costa3 and nervules of both 

 are vermillion. Base of the primaries with a blackish diseal discolora- 

 tion. In the sub-m. space are three blackish spots ; the middle one 

 rounded lunate, and twice as large as the inner, while the outer one 

 is geminate. In the middle of the diseal space is a transverse spot 

 aligned with the lunate spot below. The yellow spots are faintly re- 

 produced beneath, surrounded by a brown tinge. On the under side 

 of the secondaries the diseal spot is nearly obsolete ; the inner band 

 does not reach the costa, and the outer band only reaches half across 

 the wing. 



Legs : femora vermillion ] tibia? black above ; basal and terminal 

 joint black. Abdomen black above. Sides, the two terminal segments 

 and under side pale rubicund. 



Compared with Moschler's figure of the % , the spots on the prima- 

 ries in our 9 specimen are larger and heavier, and the outer band on 

 the secondaries is broader and more regular, while the black portion 

 extends nearly to the tip of the abdomen, being much farther than in 

 the % , where also the middle diseal spot on the primaries is wanting. 



Length, 9 , 1 inch. Exp. wings, 2.35 inches.
