'I'his species is very ineoiispicuously iiKirki'd, the lines (tl" :i more 

 lirown tone than the wing and all the markings of the genus are 

 present. From inulta it differs by the lunulate t. p. line, and the 

 concolorousness of the lines and stigmatal rings, as well as by the 

 erect, not oblique position of the ordinary spots.

^ 2 . — Piilpi, short, eyes hairy, antennae stron|^ly pectinate, the thorax and 

 primaries Avhitish gray, a well marked black collar, the thoracic vestiture at the 

 base of the wing margined with hlack, a black basal streak. The transverse 

 lines are broken, black, running diagonally across the wing. From the apex 

 an interrupted black shade extends across the t. p. line to the t. a. line giving 

 the appearance of a cross. The reniform and orbicular spots are obsolete, 

 the former with a central carneous shade, well defined black jwints at the ter- 

 mination of the nervules. Beneath of a paler gray, an angular brown mark 

 at the costa, carneous shadings surrounding it, Im-owu points at the termina- 

 tion of the nervules, near the base the costa is distinctly marked witli brown. 

 The secondaries are white with the discal spot and terminal lines present, 

 broken. Beneath there is a brown shading on the costa and the spot and lines 

 as above, fringes white. The species resembl.es curinlis in the white seconda- 

 ries and hiemalis in the marking and color of the primaries.

Pali)i with the third article black. Primaries brownish black; the t. a. line 

 geminate, convex and shaded light inwardly. The t. p. line rounded out- 

 wardly opposite the stigmata; a dark, nearly black median shade line, near 

 the lower portion a line unites the t. a. and t. p. lines, the subterminal line 

 faintly marked. The reniform has a light annulus, the orbicular spot light 

 in color, oblique, fringes concolorous. Beneath the wing is of a bright 

 yellow, with a dark broad margin, nearly black; at the center are two sub- 

 quadrate spots of a deep black, the t. p. line is observed at the costa outside 

 of the spots, the costa is darkly shaded near the base of the wing. At the 

 inferior border the yellow fades nearly out and the line of demarcation is 

 nearly black. 



Secondaries of a darker yellow, black discal spo's, broad uneven brown 

 border, below of a grayish yellow, the discal spot faint, the border dark and 

 even.
