 nearly up to mesial band ; hind maru;ins bordered by two parallel black lines, 

 the intervening fulvous space divided by the black nervules ; resting on these 

 lines a common series of black crescents, enclosing fulvous s]iots, small, mostly 

 double-convex; other markings as in allied species, very heavy, as in C//heIe ; 

 the mesial band coutluent on secondaries, and connected with the spot on the 

 arc by a black bar. that crosses the lower sub-costal interspace ; this spot is 

 shaped like an inwrted (' ; fringes luteous. black at tips of nervules.

 over inner margin up to median, buff along costa. in upper and posterior part of 

 cell and in the discoidal interspaces ; the hind margin from apex to median ferru- 

 ginous, and a large ferruginous sub-apical patch, on which are two. rarely three, 

 spots, sometimes well silvered, sometimes buff' with merely a few scales of silver ; 

 the sub-marginal spots to the number of five or six from apex, either well 

 silvered or slightly, like the sub-apical. 



Secondaries deep ferruginous, somewhat mottled with liuff, or greenish-buft'; 

 the space between the two outer rows of silver spots, usually buff, sometimes 

 yellow, and not encroached on by the dark ground color, as in Cijhele ; but in 

 other cases this space is nearly covered by ferruginous, as in Aphrodite ; the 

 seven sub-marginal silver spots narrow, sub-triangular, edged above with ferru- 

 ginous ; the seven of second row each narrowly edged with black anteriorly, 

 the first three nearly equal, the fourth minute, the fifth largest, sub-rotund, 

 the sixth sub-rectangular, the seventh lunate ; in the third row are five spots, 

 similarly edged with I)lack, the first, third, and fourth equal, lunate, the second 

 minute, often obsolete, the fourth a dash on the margin ; a small round spot in 

 cell and three spots at origin of nervures; making twenty-two silver spots in
