dark as the basal portions ; f rinj^e as above. Hiad loinrjs witli tlic apex of the cell 

 marked in the subcosto-median interspace by a slender, brownish fuscous stripe; 

 within this is a nearly continuous similar stripe, crossing the costo-subcostal interspace 

 sinuously from without inwards, and striking the subcostal nervure at nearly its own 

 length previous to the first divarication; crossing the cell in a slightly tremulous 

 course from a little without the same point on the subcostal to as far within the first 

 divarication of the median ; and continuing in very nearly the same course to the subnie- 

 dian. The extra mesial stripe starts from the costal, midway between its apex and the 

 origin of the inner stripe, and runs subparallel to the latter as far as the middle of the 

 upper subcostal interspace, Avhere it bends outward and as far as the middle of the sub- 

 costo-median interspace, is directed subparallel to the outer limits of the cell, often 

 tremulous in its course ; it then passes in rather a full curve, crossing the upper median 

 at the base of its straight portion to the middle of the lower median interspace, where 

 it is bent at less than a right angle outwards and crosses in a sharp, high curve, to the 

 middle of the next interspace, where it is again curved strongly outward, terminating 

 at the submedian at more than an interspace's distance from its tip. The outer border 

 is marked as in the fore wings, and there is a submarginal curving row of six pretty 

 large, subequal ocelli, one in each interspace between the costal and submedian ncrvures ; 

 each consists of a moderately large, round, black spot, having a minute, central, white, 

 or generally l)luish Avhite, centre, and surrounded by a rather broad annulus of ochrey 

 yellow, which is again narrowly bordered with brownish, and this with a somewhat ob- 

 scure, pale ring ; in the lowest there are two small black spots, each with a white, central 

 dot, enclosed in a common, transversely oval, yellowish field, which is bordered as in 

 the others; in the lower three, the dusky rings scarcely reach the boundaries of the 

 interspaces ; in the upper one the yellow annulus reaches them, while in the two between 

 the broAvnish ring reaches these ; the middle four are at a nearly equal distance from the 

 outer border, their outer limits removed by about an interspace's distance ; the lower is 

 a little nearer, while the upper is within the middle of the interspace in which it occurs ; 

 fringe as in the fore wings. 



Abdomen above dark brown, paler at the segment tips; beneath whitish. Appen- 

 dages of the male ( 33 : 2 ) : upper organ with the middle two-thirds of the inferior 

 margin of the hook straight, the tip curved a little downward, and rather finely 

 pointed, the middle as broad as the tip of the clasps ; lateral arms very slender, taper- 

 ing regularly, finely pointed, a little more than half as long as the hook, straight, with 

 the tip slightly curved inward and upward. Clasps as broad as the transverse diameter 

 of the centrum of the upper organ, the lower margin broadly but slightly protuberant 

 below the base of the upper margin, beyond tapering rapidly, but a little iri«egularly to 

 the tip, toward the apex of which it becomes a little twisted, and terminates in an equal, 

 round-tipped extension, Avhich is about twice as long as broad and less than one-fourth 

 the width of the base of the clasp, bent inward and a little upward, and armed at the 

 tip Avith a close cluster of A^ery minute prickles. 



Egg (64: 10). Surface smooth to the unaided eye, covered Avitli exceedingly fine 

 granulations in nearly circular cells, which average .03 mm. in diameter, and are sep- 

 arated from each other by paler, smoother, very slightly sunken bands .0028 mm. in 

 width; color very pale green, almost white; height, .97 mm. ; greatest diameter, 1.07 

 mm. Micropyle (67 : 2) .2 mm. in diameter, the cells varying from .01 mm. to .025 

 mm. in diameter, bounded by exceedingly delicate raised lines ; in the centre of the 

 micropyle there is a circular cell, only .00425 mm. in diameter, from Avhich diverge in 

 stellate form the seven or eight slender rays, less than .01 mm. long, which bound the 

 first circle of cells.
