 sides, with bluish pearly scales : the whole band has a general direction closely jjaiallel 

 to tlie outer border, but composed of partially independent spots, the upper outer angle 

 of each of which, in the upper half of the wing, is usually placed a little outside of 

 the lower outer angle of the one atiove. that next the costal border lying about mid- 

 way between the coui-se of the band and that of the spot at the extremity of the cell;

 space either straiglit or nearly so. directed upward and inward from the submedian 

 nervnre. or is bent in the middle, the angle pointing inward ; the lowermost forms a

 the liase at right angles to the previous spot when the latter is straight, or to its under 

 half when It is bent. Xearerthe outer border of the wing than the outer border of this 

 band Is a row of very narrow blackish stripes, slightly curved on the upper half, 

 strongly curved, opening outward, on the under half of the wing, bordered narrowly 

 on the inner side with bluish, pearly scales; that in the lowest interspace varies from 

 this, being a straiglit streak, parallel to that in the extra-mesial band; the wliole of 

 the medio-submedian interspace beyond this band is thickly powdered with bluish 

 pearly scales ; in the lowest median interspace, and to a much less degree in tliose 

 following it. sometimes even as far as tlie upper subcostal interspace, and also 

 slishlly in the lowest interspace, this band is followed by orange Uinules, seated, in 

 the lowest median interspace, upon a black spot ; the outer border is narrowly edged 

 witli blackish fuscous, followed by a slender line of bluish pearly scales ; tails as on 

 upper surface.
