LEMONIINAE: CALEPHKLFS BOREALIS. 780 



antorior linlf of the wiiisr at ono-lliird the ilistiince from the tip of the cell to the outer 

 niarsiii. its jie'ieral direction at rifflit atiiiles to tlic costal bonier, bent at more tlian a 

 riiiht nniile in the upper meilian interspace anil terminates a little beyonil tl\e middle of 

 the inner border ; between tlie median stripe and tlie ontor l)order, but nearer the former 

 and, excepting; in the most of the sulicostal area, iiarallel to its outer border, is an 

 irreirularly sinuous thread of steel colored scales, sli<;litly intensified by an external 

 lining of blacicish fuliirinous scales; followini: it from behind forwards, it suddeidy 

 turns, ill tlie miihlle of the lower sulicostal interspace, forwards and outwards, after- 

 wards curving forwards and losing itself before attaining the costal margin ; there is 

 a submarginal straight thread of similar scales edged obscurely on eitlier side with 

 brownish and blackish fuliginous scales, distant by half an interspace from the 

 outer border and followed witlnn, at the distance of an interspace from the outer 

 border,_by a series of small blacli spots in tlic mi<ldle of eacli interspace, that in the 

 niedio-snbmedian double; besides tliese marl<ings tlie wing is greatly but not regularly 

 obscured by dusky scales, the brightest tints being found near the outer portion of 

 the cell and the outer border of the wing; fringe brownish fuscous, a little paler on 

 the .anterior and posterior part of the wing and with a pale line just before the miildle of 

 the fringe. A median slenderer, blackish stripe crosses the hind wings ; the general 

 direction of its anterior half is at right angles to that of Its lower half, bent in 

 the middle of the upper median interspace at about two-thirds the distance from the 

 base to the outer border of the wings ; the upper half is nearly, though irregularly 

 continuous, excepting in the upper subcostal iutersp.ace where it is I'emoved outward 

 to a cousider.able distance ; the lower half consists of a series of short lines each 

 crossing an interspace, subparallel and removed consecutively farther inwards. Within 

 this median b.and the wing is nearly uniformly infuscated and to a greater extent tlian 

 outside of it ; the dusky scales are, however, clustered to some extent into short, slightly 

 curving, blackish, transverse lines, the most conspicuous of which is the one which 

 marks the outer limit of the cell. Beyond the mesial stripe and subparallel to it, at 

 about one-third the distance to the outer border, is a continuous sinuous thread of 

 steel colored scales, bordered on cither side, but especially externally, with blackish 

 fuliginous scales; there is a similar but regularly curving steel colored, submarginal 

 thread, similarly bordered but with rather lighter scales; between the two, but nearer 

 the latter, is a curving row of small blackish spots, one in each interspace, excepting 

 the medio-submedian where there are two; fringe as on fore wings. 



Beneath of a rather dark and pale orange, paler and duller next the base, marked 

 with transverse black lines and dots and transverse series of steel colored spots. Fore 

 wings with four series of transverse black lines ; the first, close to the base, consists of 

 only two short streaks, one in the cell and the other in the medio-submedian interspace, 

 about half way between the base of the wing and the origin of tlie first median ner- 

 vule; the second consists of longer and nearly continuous streaks similarly situated, 

 but at the first divarication of the median ; the third twice as dist.ant from the second 

 above as below, commences by the black streak which limits the cell apically and is 

 continued below by three little spots in the interspaces ; there is also a pair of 

 minute dots in the cell, one above, the other midway between the second and third 

 mentioned series ; the fourth consists of an interrupted, transverse row of narrow 

 bars, subparallel to the third, crossing the whole wing ; in the subcosto-median and next 

 to the lowest subcostal interspaces, it is about midway between the tip of the cell and 

 the outer border; in the lowest subcostal it is removed considerably inwards; in the 

 upper median interspace it is scarcely within the dash of the interspace above, and in 

 the interspaces below it has a general direction parallel to the hinder part of the 

 outer border; in the interspaces next the costal bonier on the outer half of the wing 

 there are also minute short dashes, directed backward and outward ; next the fourth 

 transverse series mentioned above there is a transverse row of rather large, nearly 

 continuous, pretty broad, steel colored lunules edged narrowly with blackish. They 

 are subparallel to the outer border and lie nearer to it than to the outer extremity of 

 the cell; the series is slightly bent at the middle median nervule and either half has a
