obliquely in the direction of the base across the vviug:. These Hues are followed 

 by a lighter shade, which, upon the internal margin becomes pale gray; a broad 

 shade of bluish black sweeps from the middle of the inner margin upward and 

 outward to near the extremity of the discal cell, where it is interrupted by a 

 patch of paler color, in the midst of which is the exceedingly minute white 

 discal spot; beyond this spot the shade of bluish black sweeps outward in the 

 form of an undulating dash, the outer extremity of which rests upon vein seven, 

 the subcosta-postapical nervule; a dark brown submargiual shade runs from the 

 costal margin with diminishing breadth to the internal angle. In the subtrian- 

 gular patch of lighter color included between the dark median and the submar- 

 giual shades appear two indistinct annules of dark brown. At the extremity 

 of the primaries are two dark brown luuules; the posterior wings are broadly 

 dark brown with obscure median and submargiual bauds of black. The inner 

 margin is broadly orange yellow and the tip of the tooth-like prolongation of 

 the anal angle is white. Underside. — Primaries dark brown, .save on the costa 

 and outer margin, where there are some light pearly gray marks, and at the in- 

 ternal angle, where is a broad subtriaugular patch of light red. The secondaries 

 have the red shade of the primaries produced across their middle and interrupted 

 by a median and submargiual line of dark brown. Costa and outward margin 

 dark brown.
