with traiisveiise. slightly wavy stieak.«. especially in the cell, of blackish- 

 brown ; frequent similar .streaks in the coll between the band and the 

 base; the costal ed<re distinctly marbled with black and grayish-white 

 from base to apex, over which latter portion it is more diffused, though 

 scarcely reaching the sixth cell except next the outer border, where it 

 extends at least to the third median nervule, and is bordered toward 

 the base by a narrow band formed of continuous shallow lunules reach- 

 ing neither the co.stal nor the inner border; next to which is a broad 

 iichraceous band, with infrequent transverse streaks of reddish-brown, 

 which never cross the nervules; the eyes as above, though more ovoid 

 in form, and that of cell 5 very indistinctly white pupilled. Seconda. 

 n'rs marbled with transverse bars and streaks of blackish-brown and 

 grayish-white, tinged with pale ochraceous-brown in the outer half of 

 the wing, and with darker ochraceous-brown in the middle 

 of the band; at the base the bars are larger and about 

 ^, equally divided; in the band the darker ones are clustered 

 along the borders so as to be continuous at the extreme 

 border ; in the outer half the marbling is pretty uniform, 

 thouo-h less tinged with ochraceous next the middle band, the liahter 

 colors prevailing throughout this portion ; midway between the band 

 and the outer border very indistinct pale yellowish-white spots in the 

 interspaces; the eye reduced to an indistinct small round black spot; 

 the outer border narrowly edged with black, not extending to either 

 angle, a small white spot situated upon it in the interspaces; the inner 

 border of the middle band is formed of a series of right angles from the 

 costal border till it has passed the median nervure ; in the space above 

 the cell it forms a right angle w^hose limbs are equal, projecting bor- 

 derwards, in the cell one whose limbs are unequal projecting basewards, 

 the short limb being the continuation of that of the interspace above, 

 extending to the middle of the cell, whence it is directed to the origin 

 of the first median nervule, is a^ain bent here at ri^ht angles before 

 reaching it and continues to the internal nervure, whence it extends 

 bent slightly borderwards to the inner margin; the outer border of the 

 band starting from the costal border of the wing passes iu one arch to 

 the second subcostal nervule, here extends borderwards to the middle 

 of the interspace opposite the extremity of the cell, and thence moves 

 in a gradual crenulated curve, passing just beyond the extremity of the 

 cell to the inner border; the band is broader than in most species of 

 the genus, and is especially so on the median nervures; the nervures 

 are all distinctly flecked with white.
