 Internal Interspace; the outer lionler Is c<lj;eil with hlncklsh ns In the fore wing, 

 <larkest helow and followed as there li.v a paler space; next follows n tninsversc series 

 of varliilde character : In the siihcoslal and siihcosto-inedlaii Interspaces are transversely 

 snhoval blackish lirown spots; In the median Interspaces are ronndlsh velvety black 

 spots, edifed with uUslcnlnu jiali' bine or opalescent scales, particularly within; 

 In the niedio-siibniedian Intei-space Is a tliread of black scales occasionally I'lilivcned 

 with opalescent ; followina: this series but removed sliiilitly from It, excepting in tlio 

 median interspaces. Is a series of spots, aliove the median intcrspaees, similar to tlio^e 

 of the snbiiiar:;inal row, exceptiiis; tliat tiie one In the snl)costo-mcdinn InterHpace Is 

 frequently tlniied with orange; In the median Interspaces they are large and very 

 broad, deep orantje crescents capping the opalescent rim of the t)lank spots, and them- 

 selves edsed witiilii to a srreater or less extent with lilack scales; in the inedlo- 

 snbniedlan is a transverse, broken t)hick line sometimes enlarsin^ to a spot, enlivened 

 by some dull oninse scales; tail wiilte witii white frinsfc. Fringe as in fore wings.

 I'pper organ of male appendages i 34 : 2i;, 27) very siiort tlie sides prodiiceil triangularly 

 behind and curved downward, the lateral anus very slender and stronglv recurved. 



Accessary sexual peculiarities. Scattered upon the upper surface of the wings, 

 apparently w ilii no regularity iior selection of place, are androconia of the normal 

 battledore shape (46 : 31 ), the l.amiua with equal sides, broadly rounded apex, scarcely 

 longer than broad and studded with about tifteen closely crowded rows of bead-like 

 dots arranged longitudinally and regularly ; stem less than half as long as the lamina, 

 rxpaudius <;raduaily as it joins it. They are mucli smaller than the ordinary scales, 

 averaging about .<");< mm. in breadth. 



Egg (65:20). Surface covered uniformly l)oth above and on the sides with raised 

 rounded bullions points, liiglier on tlie sides tliau on top, arranged in toleralily regular 

 oblique rows, and averaging .04 mm. in distance apart; these are connected by fine 

 raised ridges of mucli less elevation forming tolerably regular cells, the surface of 

 which Is delicately punctate. Color delicate pea green, the elevated portions white. 

 Toward the inlcropyle (68: .">, 12) the tubercles become smaller and closer and are 

 more irregularly placed and the cells of course become smaller and often pentagonal. 

 The micropylic space is siiarply bounded liy an angulate periphery, is alioiit .01 mm. 

 In diameter, greener iu color, with ;i tracery similar to that of the neighlioring parts 

 but still smaller and more delicate, tlie cells averaging about .01 mm. iu diameter, and 

 only the outer ones punctate. Diameter of egg, .5 mm. ; height, .22 mm. ; height of 

 tubercles. .o2 mm. 



Caterpillar, yirst stage. Head (79:3G) black, nearly as broad as body. Body 

 pale green, sulicylindrlcal, nearly equal. Legs luteous. Length, .75 mm. 



Thinl stngf. Head (79 : 37) piceous, deeply and narrowly cleft at the crown, smooth 

 with a very few rather long and extremely delicate hairs. Body rusty brown iu short 

 longitudinal patches, edged with pallid yellow, with a darker dorsal stripe outwardly 

 edged witii dull, [lailld yellow; the lower portion of the sides with a series of darker 

 oblique stripes forming a broken suprastigmatal scries; aiinuli dusky; hairs pellucid;
