ered with Onrk brown scaU's. llio cdiitiiiiiatioii of tliose \v1ir-1i break tlip coiiiiiuiily of 

 the wliito Imiul iMU-irdin^ the eyes; outsiile of iiihhlle joint lialf white, half lilack, 

 (llviilcd l)y II line, rnnnini; from the niiiUUe of the apical half of the upper odjre to the 

 middle of the basal half of the lower edtre ; inside of basal and middle joints while 

 with a few brownish scales; terminal joint black, white-lipped, and with a ftreat 

 many white scales at the base, parlicnlarly above and beneath ; sometimes the basal 

 half, cxceptin": the sides, white. Antennae blackish brown, each joint of the stalk 

 and the basal ones of the club rather broadly annulated at the base, the white scales 

 frequently conlluent and forming an clonjrate trianjrular patch at the base of the club, 

 especially in the male, on either side of a Inteo-fnlvous patch (generally more or less 

 obscureil with fuscous in the male) which extends over the whole under surface of the 

 club, broadening; toward the tip ami occupy inj; the whole circumference of the termi- 

 nal three or four joints. IV.is-vl half of toujiue luteo-testaceous. 



Thorax covered above with obscure mouse brown hairs, scarcely tinged with oliva- 

 ceous; prothoracic lobes covered with dark brown, mingled with some pale and gray 

 hairy scales, sometimes with a greenish tinge ; beneath, the thorax is gray with longer 

 bluish white and shorter blackish hairs; femora covered with white scales, specked 

 more or less with blackish brown, beneath covered with long white hairs with a few 

 intermingled black ones; remainder of legs dull luteous, obscured above mainly with 

 blackish brown scales and a few whitish scales (the latter especially at the ai)ices of 

 the joints, and a subapieal patch on the tibiae), on the sides mainly with white, with 

 scattered l)lackish scales ; spines black, claws lilackish. tinged with red. 



Wings above uniform dark grayish slate brown, occasionally almost l)lackisli brown, 

 fresh specimens with an exceedingly slight olivaceous reflection, the veins, usually in 

 the male only, and the outer edges blackish brown; basal half of the costal edge of 

 the /ore wings indistinctly fusco-fulvous. Hind tcinf/s almost always (?) or usually 

 ((J) having in the lower median interspace, very seldom also in the medio-siibmedian 

 iu the female, a submarginal. generally small orange patch (when most distlTict, 

 developed as a high lunule) seated on a blackish spot, the latter generally obsolete; 

 outer edge of the hind wings with a line of pearly white scales as in T. liparops; 

 diseal spot on fore wings of male oblong obovate, three times as long as broad, 

 obscure dark grayish fuscous; subcostal nervule of the fore wings on either side 

 of the origin of the inferior nervule considerably curved downward one-third way 

 across the cell, at about the middle of the outer two-thirds of the latter; upper 

 cross vein closing the cell transverse and in continuation of the lower; outer margin 

 of hind wings above the longer tail straight, the latter but little longer than the width 

 of an interspace, the shorter one very slight. 



Beneath uniform ashy slate brown, the extremity of the cell In each wing marked 

 by a spot very slightly darker tlian the ground color of the wing, and agreeing in 

 every other particular with the same spot in T. liparops; both wings are crossed 

 by an extra-mesial band, the general course and position of which, in all its varia- 

 tious, corresponds to the similar band in T. calanus; but it is made up of entirely inde- 

 pendent, though closely contiguous and sometimes even partially confluent, spots of a 

 blackish brown color, completely encircled, although less distinctly above, below and 

 on the inner side, with white; the spots of the fore wings vary greatly in shape; usu- 

 ally they are transversely short ol)ovate, the upper ones roundish, the lower often 

 quadrate orreniform; on the hind wings those above the lower median nervule are 

 roundish, with a tendency to become transversely short obovate. Outside of this 

 band, on the fore wings, is a submarginal continuous stripe of slender, transverse, 

 blackish streaks, closely parallel to the outer border, edged narrow ly on the inner 

 side with white scales and followed externally by a delicate flush of orange, generally 

 quite inconspicuous and often very nearly obsolete; a similar submarginal series on 

 the hind wings formed of curved, or, on the lower half, usually of sagittate spots, 

 opening outwardly, followed by more distinct orange spots, especially next the anal 

 angle and in the lower median interspace ; in the medio-submedian interspace the 

 orange is reduced to a mere edging, and the rest of the interspace is fdled with abun-
