the extremity of the cell, bent at the last median nervule ; they are 

 also generally collected to form a slender streak between the two. ex- 

 tending from the costal border half way over the wing, and to form a 

 spot or transverse streak in the middle of the cell ; in cell 5 there is 

 occasionally an indistinct small white spot. Secondaries: the basal 

 portion of the wing before the band next the base is blackish-browu. 

 marbled slightly with grayish-white, next the band grayish-white, mar- 

 bled slightly with blackish -brown, forming a narrow band 

 f j \ >3\ bordering the middle band, broad on the costal border, nar- 

 row and more obscured on the inner ; the band is rather 

 broad, its outer limits distinctly though but narrowly black- 

 'ish, its inner portion marbled with narrow, short, transverse 

 streaks of blackish-brown and yellowish-brown scales, darker 

 next the limits, sometimes obscured by hoariness. especially at costal 

 border, where it is almost always present ; the inner border forms a 

 pretty regular curve bent at the extremities towards the apex, except 

 that it forms a broad deep depression in the middle in the lower half 

 of the cell, which reaches the origin of the first median nervule; the 

 outer border is also pretty symmetrically curved except it bends abruptly 

 at right angles on the second subcostal nervule, extending outwards a 

 shorter or longer distance, and thence curves pretty regularly to the 

 inner border, though when it extends outwards considerably at the se- 

 cond median nervule it generally has a slight depression at the first 

 median nervule; it is generally toothed slightly on the subcostal half of 

 its course, especially on either side of the second subcostal nervule. and 

 crenulate on the median half, but it is sometimes even throughout its 

 course; beyond the band the basal half is generally more or less hoary, 

 with generally a distinct hoary band next the middle baud; there is a 

 submarginal band, generally of equal width with the hoary band, of 

 uniform marbling of blackish-brown and yellowish-brown transverse 

 streaks, washed more or less, or sometimes not at all. with hoary, in the 

 outer margin of which are generally seen pale yellowish spots in the 

 interspaces; next the border a marginal band generally of greater width 

 than the preceding, of blackish-brown scales, more or less marbled next 

 the margin with the paler colors and alway.^ most distinct away from 

 the margin, forming there deeper or fainter spots of blackish-brown in 

 till- interspaces to which the band is sometimes limited, small white 

 spots frequently sitting upon the border in the interspaces; nervures. 

 when not rubbed, distinctly flecked with white.
