with black. The under side of both wings is marked precisely as the 

 upper side, but the ground color is paler, and the black spots of the 

 basal area of the secondaries in consequence stand forth more con- 

 spicuously. The palpi are black, edged with white upon the lower side. 

 The thorax is black spotted with small yellow dots on the under side 

 and having two similar spots on the posterior edge on tlic ui)i)er 

 side. The upper side of the abdomen is black, the lower si<le light 

 yellowish ochraceou'S, the yellow color extending upwardly as line lat- 

 eral lines on the jtosterior margins of the segments. In addition there 

 are lateral rows of yellow circular spots on each side of the abdomen. 

 The legs and attennie are black. 



The female is black with the spots and bands of the wings pure 

 white. As is usual in this genus, the wings are broader and more 

 rounded at the apex of the primaries than in the male sex and the 

 body and wings are considerably larger. The macular band of the pri- 

 maries differs in its outline from that of the male sex in having its 

 outer margin somewhat more regular, and the inner extremities of the 

 spots situated upon the median interspaces even, the spot on interval 

 2 not projecting inwardly farther than the spot on interval 3, as is the 

 case in the male sex.
