XYMl'lIALIXAi:: BRENTlllS BELLOXA. G09 



gradually toward the apex, first to j-ellowish buff, and fiually to deep orange fulvous, 

 all excepting the white portions l:)csprinkled with black scales; fringed beneath with 

 hairs which at the base are whitish, tipped with brownish yellow, then brownish yel- 

 low, and gradually changing toward the apex to fulvous; al)ove bright fulvous, 

 mixed with yelUnvish and besprinkled with black; within mostly greenish yellow, 

 specked with black ; a very open, sparse fringe of long black hairs, directed down- 

 ward and outward, lies along the lower outer border and is best seen from an end 

 view; a few black hairs are also intermingled in the fulvous tip. Antennae fulvo- 

 luteous, above a little fuscous, besprinkled pretty heavily w'ith white scales beneath 

 on the basal fourth, outside along the whole stalk, and above, especially on the inside, 

 at the l>asc of each joint; club blackish broAvn, the apical three or four joints more or 

 less brightly tinged with luteo-f ulvous ; the sides of the basal joints somewhat 

 besi)rinkled beneath witli white scales. Tongue fulvo-Iuteous, dull luteous along the 

 median line near the base ; beyond more or less fuscous exteriorly. 



Thorax co\-ered above with l)lack scales, concealed by fulvous hairs, more or less 

 tinged with greenish, beneath Mith orange fulvous scales and dark fulvous hairs; 

 fore legs concealed by dai'k fulvous hairs ; other legs luteous, the femora specked 

 slightly on the sides and beneath with black, above with white scales ; spurs, spines 

 and claws luteous. 



Wings above pretty uniform pale fulvous, the hind wings scarcely paler, heavily 

 marked Avith black, having a slight purplish reflection. Outer border of fore v-inya 

 scarcely x'ounded, but very slightly augulated at the middle of the subcosto-median 

 interspace, the angle broadly rounded; the border above the angulation nearly 

 straight, perhaps scarcely convex, below it scarcely concave; inner border straight or 

 with scarcely perceptible concavity. Nervures lightly marked with blackish ; wing- 

 lightly begrimed at the base, nearl.y half way to the extremity of the cell, and along 

 the costal edge to the extremity of the cell, by a mixture of fulvous and black scales ; 

 the cell is crossed in the middle by a heavy, slightly diagonal, irregularly 0-shaped or 

 open pyriform .spot, largest beneath; nearly midway between it and the base the cell 

 is crossed by a small roundish spot, and midway between it and the tip by a sinuate 

 bar haviug a general direction parallel to the exterior border of the cell ; the latter is 

 bordered within and without with black, itself more or less distinctly fulvous. A 

 very irregular, sinuate, continuous, pretty broad mesial band starts from the costal 

 border at quarter the distance from the extremity of the cell to the tip of the wing, 

 and crosses the subcostal interspaces in a direction geuerall}' parallel to the exterior 

 border of the cell ; the subcosto-median interspace is crossed by a broad, roundish 

 lunulc curving outward, whose interior border is nearly continuous with the exterior 

 border of the previous part of the stripe, and whose limbs unite it slenderly with the 

 adjacent parts of the same; the median interspaces are traversed close to the base by 

 heavy lunules, curving inward, leaving at the very base, between them and the nerv- 

 ui'es, small, triangular, fulvous spots; the medio-submedian intci'space is crossed at 

 about two-fifths the distance from the first divarication of the median nervure to the 

 outer border by a broad, irregular bar, parallel to the outer border, and the next by a 

 heavy diagonal streak stretching inward, sometimes nearly half way to the base of 

 the wing. Within tlie mesial stripe, just below the first divarication of the median 

 nervure, the medio-submedian interspace is crossed by an irregular V-shaped stripe, 

 the angle outward, sometimes extending to the mesial stripe, the upper limb often 

 connecting with the bar crossing the middle of the outer half of the cell, the lower 

 pushing along the submediau often half way to the base of the wing; in the same 

 interspace, near the base, is a straight, lougitudiual dash, sometimes obscured, some- 

 times joining the V ; from the costal border, midway between the extremity of the cell 

 and the tip of the wing, depends an obscure fuscous, slender, elongated patch, cross- 

 ing the whole or only a portion of the subcostal interspaces, nearly at right angles to 

 the costal border; beyond this is a broken series of six roundish spots, parallel to the 

 outer ))order and distant from it by tAvicethe width of the interspaces ; the upper three 

 are smaller, and occupy the two lower subcostal and the subcosto-median interspaces ;
