border than the others. % with two black spots of hair-like scales, one 

 next the base below the median nervure resting upon and extending to 

 its first branch; the second, separated by this branch from the first, rests 

 upon the median both above and below, divided by it and extending to the 

 termination of the cell, having a small patch between the second and 

 third median nervules. Costal border, especially near base, indistinctly 

 mottled with gray and black. Secondaries of the same general color 

 as the primai'ies, with a similar band before the border, continuous or 

 nearly so in both sexes, in which, in every interspace, is a more or less 

 distinct pale yellow dot. except in that between the first and second 

 median nervules, where there is a small eye-like spot, indistinctly white- 

 pupilled. One of the specimens exhibits also a similar but indistinct 

 spot between the second and third median nervules. The separation 

 of the band from the border is less distinct in the 9 than in the % . 



Beneath. Fn'maries slightly paler than the upper surface; the whole 

 costal edge mottled white and black; the apex of the wing and the upper 

 half of the outer border is either uniform gray from the e(|ual com- 

 mingling of white and dark brown scales, or by the clustering of scales 

 of the same color into spots is pretty uniformly marbled with white antl 

 dark brown or black. The outer half of the wing with a yellowish ( 9 ) 

 or slight ochraceous ( S ) tinge, with seldom any mark of the light band 

 of the upper side except as a halo, distinct and large in 9 , faint and 

 narrow in S . around the spots of the second and fifth cells, which re- 

 appear on this surface, the upper always, the lower generally, distinctly 

 white-pupilled. Secondaries marbled with narrow transverse, generally 

 wavy bars of clustered grayish-white, and brown or blackish-brown 

 scales, in some individuals one, in others the other predominating, the 



lighter colors being fainter or nearly absent on the middle 



),^ \ band, and generally most conspicuous next its outer limit ; the 



^X\ middle band not very prominently darker than the ground 



jA\i color but broad; its outer border generally only narrowly 



^^ Wedged with blackish, is deeply crenated except toward the 



inner border, where the curves are slight and broad or want- 

 ing; it extends from the costal border to exactly the extremity of the cell in 

 three very prominent arches, the first two each occupying an interspace. 

 the third broad and arching over two interspaces; from the extremity 

 of the cell the border bends backwards towards the base, with a promi- 

 nent arch in tlie next interspace, but in the remaining, by which it 

 reaches the inner border, only slight curves or none at all ; the inner 

 border is much less distinct, but has an angular depression between the 

 costal and subcostal nervnres. and a very deep and rounded one in the
