A basal black line directed obliquely, outward, endins nearlj twice as far 

 from the insertion of the wing on the inner as on the costal edge ; it is either 

 straight in its course or wavy, and makes an acute angle either on the median 

 vein, or jus-t above it; the line widens a little at each end. Half-way 

 between this and the middle line is a broad, smoke-colored, diffuse, irregu- 

 lar band, directed obliquely outward on the inner edge. The middle black 

 line is wavy, directed outward on the median vein, and then making a deep 

 sinus in the submediah space, and ending in a large black patch on th^ inner 

 margin. Between this line and the extradiscal is a broad, irregular, whitish 

 space, varying in color from ash-white to a shade scarcely paler than the rest 

 of the wing ; this broad band widens outward on the discal space, contracting 

 in front on the costa, but more so on the inner edge of the wing. The extra- 

 discal line is directed obliquely outward to the first median space, and sends 

 an acute angle inward on the independent vein ; from the angle made in the 

 middle of the «-ing, it retreats inward, curving around, and is scalloped 

 slightly (in some specimens the angle is much less marked than just 

 described I. Beyond the extradiscal line, the wing is greenish. Half-way 

 between the extradiscal line and the outer edge of the wing is a curved 

 smoke-colored band, widening toward the costa. Edge of the wing clear 

 greenish, with a row of geminate, short, longitudinal, black spots. An 

 oblique, l)lack, apical streak runs into a similar streak parallel with the costa ; 

 just above and parallel to the independent vein is a long black streak, touch- 

 ing the acute angle in the discal space of the extradiscal line. Discal dot 

 minute, obscure. Hind wings whitish gray, with two outer, faint, curved, 

 dusky lines Beneath, both wngs are concolorous with the upper side of the 

 hind wing5, with two common, dusky, extradiscal lines on each pair of wings ; 

 the inner are darker on the costa of the fore wings. Faint discal dots on 

 both wings. Fringe on both wings pale brown, faintly checkered with dusky. 

 Legs concolorous with under sides of %vings and abdomen. Anterior pair of 

 legs dark, ringed with lighter. 



Length of body, c?, 0.45, 9, 0.45; of fore wing, c?, 0.60, ?, 0.55-0.66; 

 expanse of wings, 1.15-.1.30 inches.
