'Twas prime of May ; and every square became 

 A murmuring camp of summer. Now and then 

 A dizzy and bewildered butterfly 

 Fluttered througb noisy streets.

 The loorld will wail thee.

Imago (2 : 1 ; 12 : 7). Head covered with reddish brown hairs mingled with a few 

 blacliish and many delicate Avhite or gray hairs, the latter nearly wanting along the 

 middle and about the base of the antennae, and abundant beside the inner edge of the 

 eye; hinder edge of the eye broadly bordered with Avhite scales, the field narrowing 

 above Avhere a few ochraceons scales are mingled with them. Palpi white, the upper 

 surface reddish brown, on the apical joint brownish fuscous, with a few mingled paler 

 scales; long hairs of the sides black. Under surface of antennae broAvnish luteous, 

 tlie remainder purplish black, with a few scattered, pale scales above and a narrow, 

 continuous line of Avhite scales on the sides next the luteous portion ; club pale orange 

 luteous, all excepting the apical five joints, above, and sometimes to a less extent 

 below, blackish, pui^plish above, reddish below. Tongue dark broAvnish luteous, 

 becoming darker aAvay from the base, black laterally, the apical half Avholly black; 

 papillae (61: 35, 54) nearly equal and cylindrical, slightly narroAving at the base. 



Prothorax covered above Avith minute, dark metallic green scales, concealed by long 

 olivaceous, and reddish broAvn hairs. Patagia reddish brown, tinged interiorly Avith 

 olivaceous. Thorax covered beneath Avith long, Avhite hairs, often tinged slightly Avith 

 yelloAvisli or brownish yellow. Fore tibiae black, covered in front with reddish 

 broAvn, on the sides with white hairs, the outer ones someAvhat tinged Avith reddish 

 broAvn ; femora of the other legs white, the upper surface blackish brown with inter- 

 mingled reddish broAvn scales; tibiae and tarsi dirty white, the latter sometimes 

 marked above Avith dusky, beneath Avith dark yellowish brown scales ; spurs luteous, 

 tipped Avith broAvnish red; spines black; claAvs reddish broAvn, darkest at tip. 



Outer border of fore wings very gently sinuous, in no part straight, although nearly 

 so both above and beloAV. Third superior subcostal nervule arising at tAvo-thirds the 

 distance from the origin of the second to that of the fourth ; the fourth at an equal 

 distance from the outer border and the upper limit of the vein closing the cell. Above 

 very dark, broAvnish black, the nervures black, the basal third of the costal margin, 

 the basal two-fifths of the cell, a corresponding portion of the medio-submedian inter- 

 space, and the Avhole inner margin, heavily flecked Avith greenish golden scales; the 

 remainder of the cell, excepting a narrow black edging along the exterior boundary, 

 golden orange, deepest interiorly, palest exteriorly, crossed by tAvo short, heavy bars; 

 one Avith a rounded summit, scarcely narroAver at tip than at base, depends from the 

 costal nervure at alwut the middle of the cell and crosses nearly tAvo-thirds of the cell ; 

 the other, rudely triangular, its interior edge scarcely separated from the exterior edge 

 of the first, is seated on the median nervure, its apex near the middle of the cell or 

 sometimes a little higher. The median and medio-submedian interspaces are almost 

 wholly of the same bright tint ; the outer margin of the Aving, hoAvever, is margined 

 here Avith black to the Avidth of an interspace and the base of the loAver median inter- 

 space, fully as far as the last divarication of the median, is filled with black and con- 

 nects beloAV with a pretty large, rounded or subtriangular spot seated on the loAver 

 median nervule, half Avay bctAveen its base and the black margin of the Aving, and 

 extending half Avay or sometimes Avholly across the interspace; this again is in direct 

 connection Avith a broad, curved band, Avliich crosses the medio-submedian interspace
