1 



are from nil to five, small, black ; when all are present they stand one on 

 each interspace from subcostal to lower median ; fringes of primaries 

 mixed light and dark brown, of secondaries mostly light. 



Under side of primaries paler, the tint varying as above ; over costa, 

 apex and over hind margin to the ocelli, sprinkled with light brown and 

 white ; in some examples the white disappears below median nervure ; in 

 the cell the brown lies in transverse streaks, and near the outer epd are 

 two whitish patches ; along the edge of hind margin a white dot in each 

 interspace ; the ocelli repeated, enlarged and pupilled with white ; in one 

 example, which has but one ocellus above, there are three below, one 

 being on second discoidal, the other on second, median interspace. 



Secondaries light and dark brown and white, or almost wholly dark 

 brown ; the basal area often dark to middle of cell, in sub-concentric 

 curves about base, intermingled with streaks of white, but in other cases is 

 nearly solid dark brown ; across disk a narrow dark band, the outer side 

 well defined, the basal side not so distinctly, as the curved stripes, or the 

 basal color, tend to coalesce with it ; but when most distinct this inner 

 side is pretty evenly excavated ; on the outer side there is a rounded 

 prominence opposite cell, posterior to which the outlme is wavy to inner 

 margin, and anterior there is a single curve to costa ; this band is dark 

 brown upon both edges, and in some examples is wholly dark, in others it 

 is lighter colored within, and with a little white ; beyond the band, the 

 ground is either white, thickly dusted and streaked with brown, most so 

 along the line of the ocelli ; or wholly uniform dark brown with a little 

 dusting of white ; along the margin white' dots like those of primaries; 

 the ocelli are five, nearly equal and pupilled white ; in one they are minute 

 and the spot next outer angle is wanting. 



Body black-brown ; below, thorax black, abdomen gray-brown ; legs 

 light brown, with gray ; palpi brown with black hairs ; antennae fuscous 

 above, dull white below ; club orange below and at tip. 



Female. — Expands 1.8 to 1.9 inch. 



Closely like the male, the color varying in same manner ; the marginal 

 borders are both distinctly cut on inner side ; the ocelli on primaries run 

 from two to four, on secondaries are five, all usually blind, but sometimes 

 the anterior ocellus on primaries and the second and fifth on secondaries 

 have white pupils. 



Under side as in male ; white dots along both margins as in the male.
