In the fetiiale, th" \\in<;s are a little lona:er; the apex of the fore wings 

 nineh more produced than in the male. 'I'his beautiful species mav be recog- 

 nized by the peculiar oehreous, tan-brown color, the two s(|nare, costal, 

 ochreons s])ots, the gaily-colored undei- side of the hind wings, the three sil- 

 verv-ochreous bands Iieini,^ liiintlv rei)ro<luced above, and bv the broadly- 

 pectinated aiiteiin;e. It ditfers from the Kuro])ean /'. Jt/vriv/i/r/a, which if, 

 represents in North America, in the broadly-pectinated male and narrowh- 

 pectinated female antemue. In the fenuile 7^ fasrid/dria, the anteimie are 

 simple. The wings are also less produced, tlie hinder pair less notched on 

 the outer edge, and in no specimens yet m'vu are the costal spots continued 

 across the wing, sometimes forming regular bands, as in its European repre- 

 sontative. It varies but slightly : in one case, the wings are suffused slight Iv 

 with ochreons. and the fenude is rathei- more ochreons than tlie male.
