NYMPIIALINAE : EUGONIA J-ALBU:\I. 381 



ruckly, and followed by a paler streak, varying from whitish to yellowish tawny or 

 greenish, which again is separated from the paler spots by a slender, transverse, black- 

 ish bi'own band, broadest in the median area, except next the costal margin, where it 

 reaches the white spot; fringe black, interrupted rather narrowly in the interspaces, 

 and especially those of the median area, with whitish. Hind vnnfjs orange tawny, 

 more or less begrimed Avith dusky, profusely clothed with long, fine, tawny hairs 

 (tinged with olivaceous nearest the base of the wing) in the lower inner part of the 

 wing ; the limit of it would be marked by a line following the upper border of the cell 

 and sweeping around to just l)eforc the tii) of the iinicr border; excepting some paler 

 clouds on the costal margin, tlie upper basal half of tlie wing, including the base of the 

 lower and the basal third of the upper subcostal interspace, is blackish brown, followed 

 above the middle subcostal nervule by a white bar, nearly an interspace in width, in the 

 upper subcostal interspace, removed a little toward the base, tapering upwards, and 

 ill-delined in the interspace above ; this is again followed by a dusky triangular patch 

 tapering downward from the costal margin, where it is flecked with paler colors to a 

 rudely formed apex at the middle subcostal nervule; connected with the exterior 

 boixler of this patch is a snbmarginal, connected, slightly crenulate series of ferru- 

 gineo-blackish transverse liars, opening outward, at a distance of about three-fourths 

 of an interspace from the outer margin, angulated like the wing, but to a less degree, 

 at the upper median nervule, and followed interiorly by a series of high, greenish yel- 

 low lunules, more or less connected, especially in the middle of the Aving, into a series 

 which tapers toward either extremity, and does not pass beyond the subcostal nerv- 

 ules ; the tawny portion of the wing next to them is also more or less broken by 

 lighter fleckings of the same color; the outer margin is also of this color, but is more 

 or less obscured with dusky or flecked witli mingled tawny and blackish scales, fre- 

 quently in transverse threads ; fringe mingled yellowish and dark brown, interrupted 

 narrowly with Avhitc in the interspaces. 



Beneath, in general dark brown on the basal half of the wings, darker in $ than 

 in ?, the apical half , excepting a submarginal stripe, hoary cinereous (^) or dusty 

 cinereous (?); whole surface, excepting the apical third of fore wings, profusely 

 covered with exceedingly delicate, blackish, aculeate, recumbent hairs. In the fore 

 tilings the limit of the darker basal half runs from the costal margin just opposite the 

 base of the third superior subcostal nervule, turns directly toward the base so that it 

 crosses the subcostal nervure as far within the base of the third nerAiile as that is 

 from the costal margin, and then runs straight, but often in a crenulate course, to the 

 upper median nervule or just below it, just where it completes its basal curve ; from 

 here it continues in a slight curve, opening outward, to the middle of the basal four- 

 flfths of the inner border; this exterior limit of the darker base is sometimes marked 

 by a blackish line, especially in the upper subcostal and upper median interspaces ; it 

 also marks the outer limit of the darker part of the base, which forms a broad, nearly 

 equal band, broadest above, reaching the upper outer limit of the cell, and there only 

 distinctly defined, being marked like the upper portion of the exterior limit by a black 

 line, followed by gray markings; within this band, which is least defined, narrowest 

 and lightest in the subcosto-median interspace, there is an oblique black streak in the 

 upper subcostal interspace, joining above the exterior margin ; within the cell are three 

 small, darker, clouded patches — one slender, oblique, black bordered, with rounded 

 extremities, seated on the median nervure a little less than half way from the base to 

 its first branch, directed parallel to the subcostal nervure and almost reaching 

 the second spot, which is similar, not quite so slender, bordered with black, 

 excepting at the inferior part of its basal extremity, its upper outer extremity touch- 

 ing the base of the first subcostal nervule, its lower directed between the first and 

 third spots ; the latter subrhomboidal, similar and parallel to the second, but broader 

 and not or scarcely bordered Avith black, is seated on the median, its outer edge next 

 the first divarication of the nervule ; the base of the medio-submedian interspace is 

 also clouded, limited by the continuation of the outer margin of the outer spot in the 

 cell. The whole costal edge is marraorate Avitli blacki>^h and Avhitish. BeloAV the next
