Var. OCELLATA. 



Male. — Expands 2.1 inches. 



Upper side of primaries next base ferruginous, the remainder blackish-brown, 

 the nervules sometimes faintly marked by ferruginous ; secondaries blackish- 

 brown, clothed at base and alono- the abdominal maroinAvith lonsr (jreenish-browii 

 hairs ; both wings have a black line, forming the inner part of the marginal bor- 

 der, preceded by a series of small, pale ferruginous spots, wanting next the apex 

 of primaries ; on secondaries these spots are lunular and often concolored, but 

 the anterior side of each is edged with fuscous or brown, and together forms a 

 distinct crenated "line which crosses the entire wing ; on the disk of primaries a 

 transverse sinuous row of seven rounded yellow or yellow-ferruginous spots, the 

 sixth and seventh being in the sub-median interspace ; beyond these a second 

 row of five spots of same color as the others, occupying the median, discoidal 

 and two lower subcostal interspaces, four of them arranged in a curve parallel 

 to the incised edge of the wing, and the fifth, on costal margin, forming a right 

 angle with the two next succeeding; in the cell two black, transvei-se, sinuous 

 bars sometimes joined on the sub-costal nervure. Secondaries have an extra-dis- 

 cal series of six large, rounded black spots, disposed as in Celds, each spot sur- 

 rounded by a narrow fulvous ring, which is sometimes expanded on the basal side 

 into a large fulvous patch, especially in the sub-costal interspaces ; on the middle 

 of the costal margin a pale, sordid-fulvous patch ; fringes of both wings white in 

 the emarginations, fuscous at the ends of the nervules. 



Under side of primaries brown in several shades, grayish in the cell, with a 

 yellow tint over the outer half of same, and grayish over the basal part of the 

 sub-costal interspaces ; somewhat red-tinted below the cell and in the median
