tlie inner iiiargiu oi'llie wing. Outer line (lii.skv ihvvn-brow n, oliTuiue, ciirvetl 

 outward above and Ixdow inward to meet the inner. Beyond, tlie wing is 

 shaded with oclireons-l)]-own (wilii a tew bhicl\ speeks) ; this shade sometimes 

 e.\lends to the bonU'r of the wing, interrujited l)_v a submarginal row ol 

 irregular pale patches proceeding i'roni the l)road, apical, ditt'nse, pale patcii. 

 Discal dots black, distinct in l)oth wings. Hind wings marked like the 

 anterior ])air, the outer line situated just in the middle of the witig and 

 nearer the discal dot than usual. Fringe lawn-brown. Beneath, a submar- 

 ginal scalloped fawn-bi-own line not reaching the hind edge, common to both 

 wings. (This and. ihe meeting of the two lines on (he fore wings al)ove is 

 chararteristic of this s|)ecies.) The rest of the wings is j)aler than above, 

 with less dense strig;e, and darki/r along the c-osta. Discal dols distinct. 

 The outer line on th(^ fore wings faintly |-e-appears through. 



Length of body, S, OAh-OJA): of fire wing, J, 0.65-0.75; exj)anse 

 of wings, 1.50 inchi's.

 Soc.) ; Georgia (Harris Coll.). 



The two males from Philadelphia are much clearer altove than j\lr. 

 Grote's ty[)es, the hind wings being especially clear, with long linear strigse. 



This is a very well-marked species, and need not lie conl()unded with 

 any other. The hind wings are distinctly "tailed", not sinuated, as in 

 madu.sdiid, while the fore wings are distinctly excavated, Init not dentate 

 below (he apex, and they are shoi'ter and broader than usual 



Laira. — Kaniifoini; iiead no wider than (he Ijody ; a dorsal hump on 

 (he third thoracic segment, in tlie middle of the body, and two on the end of 

 the liody. Head rust-red. I'lody green, witli three or four transverse red- 

 dish stripes on each abdominal rim;. Pupa ])ale brown, speckled with lilack.

 possible (hat the larva lieic ligured may l)e that of Eutrupfla transveisata, 

 or vtrt' versa, compai'c tig. 20.
