Female. — The uj)per side of the palpi is black. The upper side of the 

 thorax and abdomen is dark fuscous. The lower side of the palpi and 

 the pectus is white. The lower side of the thorax and abdomen is 

 pale brownish gray. The legs are concolorous. The primaries are fus- 

 cous at the base and on the outer margin, the fuscous shade deepening 

 into black toward the center of the wing and the outer angle. The 

 wing is traversed from the costa before the apex by a band of discal 

 spots, gradually increasing in size from the costa to the inner margin. 

 The four uppermost of these spots are curved outwardly in a bent 

 series; the four lower spots are oblong quadrate. All are ochre-yellow, 

 except the two nearest the inner margin, which are washed with white. 

 In addition to this series of spots there are two yellow spots beyond 

 the end of the cell, and a smaller yellow spot at the lower outer angle 

 of the cell. The secondaries are colored at the base as the primaries, 

 with the inner margin dark fawn color. The macular baud of the pri- 

 maries is contintied aci'oss the secondaries as a white band giadually 

 diminishing in width toward the inner margin, and laved with blue on
