smaller tOiid more triangular apically. Each interspace, except tlie 

 uppermost on the hind wings, bears a conspicuous oval dark spot dis- 

 tant from the inner dark line, in the middle of the interspace, about 

 as far as that is from the outer edge of the wing. On the fore wing 

 the spot between veins 2 and 3 is the largest, those on either side of 

 this being slightly smaller, and the three nearer the apex much 

 smaller, the middle one larger than the other two. On the hind 

 wings the most anterior spot is very small, the next is larger, the 

 following is small, though larger than the first, the two succeeding 

 are large again, and the last is \evy small. Bej^ond the inner ends 

 of these spots and the same distance from them as the submarginal 

 line is a moderately broad continuous line, broadened at the veins and 

 narrowed in the middle of the interepaces so that the dark submar- 

 ginal spots lie each in the center of a light oval patch bordered by the 

 dark veins and the concave borders of the lines on either side of 

 them. 



On the fore wings from the costal border someAvhat beyond the 

 middle a rather broad dark line runs directly inward to vein 5, then 

 diagonally outward to vein 4, wdiere it meets the line just described 

 in a rather narrow point. Midway between the inner end of this 

 line and the end of the cell a heavy dark line crosses the interspace 

 between veins 4 and 3; just beneath the end of the cell a similar 

 line crosses the interspace between veins 3 and 2; just touching the 

 inner side of the lower end of the last a similar line, turning out- 

 ward in its lower half, crosses the interspace between veins 2 and 1 ; 

 just below the origin of vein 2 a similar line, turning inward in- 

 stead of outward in its lower half, runs between veins 2 and 1. 

 The two lines crossing the interspace between veins 2 and 1 are con- 

 nected by a line ]^arallel to the veins in the middle of the inter- 

 space. The end of the cell is crossed by a broad dark bar, broadest 

 at the ends, with some light scales in the middle of its basal portion. 

 In the outer half of the cell, touching the costal border though not 

 quite reaching the vein below, is a broad 8-shaped figure with a 

 few light scales in the middle of its lower half. 



On the hind wings a well-defined, narrow, almost straight dark 

 line runs from the basal third of the costal border parallel to the 

 inner margin to vein 4, where it approaches very near the Ime 

 within the row of submarginal spots; at this point it turns at 

 approximately a right angle and runs toward the inner margin of 

 the wing as far as vein 1. Within this line the markings of the 

 wing are obscured by dark infuscation and long hairs; but the dis- 

 tal portion of the cell and the inner ends of the interspaces above 

 and below the cell are light. 



On the under side the fore wings are lighter and more yellowish 

 than above, becoming pale reddish cinnamon apically. The markings
