Tills pretty species is black, with three narrow, waved, white bands cross- 

 ing the fore wings; the two basal ones connect on the inner ediie of the 

 wing, where they form a circular ring, inclo.sing a black spot; al)ovc they are 

 equidistant, and are dentate on the median vein, the teeth advancing toward 

 each other. The outer line is very sinuate, widening much in the middle, 

 and thence sending a linear sinuate line to the inner auirle of the wing.
