surfaces; towards tlu; l)ase of tlie antenna a few white scales are also scattered about 

 above; beneath, the basal joints— about ten of them— are blackish, broadly aniiulated 

 basally with sordid Avhite; beyond naked, dark castancous; club like the stalk, but 

 touched Avith white only on the basal fourth, and the apical four joints luteous. 

 Tongue castancous, deeply infuscatcd, almost black laterally, especially beyond the 

 base. 



Thorax and patagia covered above with long, dark broAvn hairs tinged with fulvo- 

 olivaceous, below Avith pretty long, grayish brown hairs; fore legs blackish brown 

 down the front, Avith the expanding fringe of the same gray as the under surface of 

 thorax ; other legs dark purplish l)roAvn Avith a f cav intermingled very pale broAvn 

 scales, more abundant on the hind than on the middle pair and uuich more profuse on 

 the tarsi than on the tibiae, scarcely present on the femora; the inner, and to a slight 

 degree the upper, surface of the femora enlivened by yelloAvish scales, Avliich also 

 tip the Avhole femora, and tinge some of the lateral pale scales of the tilMae ; spurs 

 reddish castancous ; spines of tibiae golden yelloAv ; of tarsi blackish or very dark 

 reddish; claAvs castancous. the basal half inclining to pallid, the apical to fuliginous; 

 paronychia castancous. 



Wings a])ove black, Avith a maroon tinge, and orange fulvous markings. Fore loings 

 Avith the basal half of the costal border transversely and obscurely Ixirred Avith rather 

 pale broAvn and flecked, not profusely, Avith flavo-luteous scales, groAving darker and 

 more reddish as they approach the base ; the base of the Avings beneath the costal 

 nervure and as far outAvard as the hrst divarication of the median flecked considerably 

 with reddish orange scales, Avhich, at their exterior limit in the cell, are collected in a 

 distinct spot traversing the whole cell and slightly paler or brighter in the centre ; a 

 similar but better defined spot occupies the exterior limit of the cell, but fails of reach- 

 ing the median nervure excepting at its interior limit, Avhich is slightly sinuous and 

 advances a very little toAvard the base in approaching the median nervure ; its exterior 

 limit is curved, its convexity outAvard, and the spotAA^iich is broader than long is orange 

 fulvous ; it is indistinctly surmounted above by a slight, pallid spot above the costal 

 nervure ; the outer half of the Aving is crossed by a very broad belt of orange fulvous, 

 someAvhat and rather abruptly paler along its interior limit, more broadly beloAv than 

 above ; the interior border of the band extends from the inner margin to the middle of 

 the Aving in a band of equal Avidth; above that it broadens, and Avhen it has reached 

 the next to the loAver subcostal nervule divides into tAvo slender stripes, the interior of 

 Avhich is pale yelloAV and reaches, Avhile the other is Avhitish and just fails of reaching, 

 the costal border, and Avhich enclose betAveen them a subquadrate spot, rounded beneath 

 and projecting a little outAvardly; this spot depends from the costal margin and extends, 

 longitudinally, from the origin, or just l^eyond the origin, of the third to a little beyond 

 the origin of the fourth superior subcostal nervule ; the interior margin of the broad 

 baud is minutely subcrenulate and extends in a general broad curve from the costal 

 border just Avithin the origin of the third superior subcostal nervule, crossing the 

 middle median ner\nile at an interspace's distance from its origin, to the inner border 

 in the middle of its outer tAVO-thirds; the exterior border of the band is sinuous, sub- 

 parallel to the outer margin, placed above midAA'ay betAveen the outer margin of the 

 inner upper branch of the broad band and the apex of the Aving ; and beloAV fully three- 

 fifths the distance from the interior border of the broad band and the outer margin of 

 the Aving. The outer margin for the distance of half an interspace is of a pale, ashy 

 brown with a median stripe, sometimes nearly supplanting it, of dark or blackish 

 broAvn. Fringe black, tipped, especially in the interspaces, Avith dark, ashy broAA'u. 

 Jliud icings Avith the cell and all beloAV it and as far outAvard as the limit of the black 

 portion heavily clothed Avith long, broAvnish, dull fulvous hairs more or less obscuring 

 the black base (and more frequent in the $ than in the $ 0- Across the outer half of 

 the wing is a broad belt, continuous Avith that of the fore Aving and similar to it in 

 Avidth and color, except that the paler, yelloAvish portion is much broader above than 

 below (and less extensive in the ? than in the $ ?) ; its interior margin extends from 

 the costal border at the middle of its outer tAvo-thirds. in a nearly straight but
