5 S and 4 9. — Closely allied in the liirni ol'the head and hody and shape 

 of the wings to /'. tnmaifa, (hough the Cure wings are less acute, and the outer 

 edije a litthj less oblicjue ; (he hind wings are iiiiich the same. Fore wings 

 blackish-gray at base, with two dark, ])arallel. toothed lines, (he outer forming

 the cdije go(>s oi)li(inely from the tooth just ixdow the costa to the imnu- edge 

 of the wing); beyond is a l)road. briirht, rusty-yellow iiand, varying much 

 in width, being smnetimes wider than (he median l)lackisli band, and some- 

 times only onelhird or (me-half as wide: (he middle third of (h(> wing is 

 occupied wi(h a conspicuous dark l)and, varying nuu-h in width and distinct- 

 ness; it is either dark and uiiitiirmly colored, or paler and containing two 

 nearly parallel, black, scalloped lines forming large ringlets behind the median 

 vein; the inner edi>e of the band is sinuate, curving outward from the 

 costa, and sendiiio- a deep sinus outward (away from tlu; l)ase of the 

 wing), l)ut inward toward the center of the l)aud itself (sometimes this 

 indentation is larire and i)road and the n>s( of the edge is broadly scal- 

 loped); the outer edge of the band is somewhat as in f\ triincufd ; the 

 edge is usually nearly straight near (he costa, bu( makes a laruc, i)road, 

 rounded an<rle on (he lirst median space, and then succeeds a deep, acute 

 sinus below the (liird median vein; a deep sinus, either linear or broad and 

 oblong (as tigii red by Guenee), is sent in (oward ihe distinct black discal 

 dot; a deep angle, sometimes acute, below (he third median vein, trom which 

 the edge curves outward and is twice scallopi'd : beyond the edge is a nisiy- 

 yellow l)and, scalloped externally, the .scallops filled in with deep rus1y and 

 bla(d<, with two lar<re, rather acute teeth opposite the deep <liscal sinus in Ihe
