times tiiiK<'il iil)ovo xvilli <)raiij;o. Aiitoiiiuic IjUvckisli hrowii. Iioavily tlecked, except 

 next the base of each joint, and on the nnder snrface only, with wliite; whole of 

 under surface of club and terminal three or four joints of its upper surface dull 

 orange. Palpi thickly clothed with scales, which are white at base, becoming gradually 

 more and more tinged apically with yellow ; upper surface and apex of terminal joint 

 black. Tongue luteo-fuscous. 



I'rothorax covered profusely with delicate, forward curving, blackish brown hairs, 

 tipped with reddish orange. Thorax black, covered with greenish yellow scales and 

 hairs, on the patagia mingled with blackish ones and having the yellow scales, espec- 

 ially the outer ones, tinged with orange; beneath, the thorax is black, covered pro- 

 fusely with canary yellow hairs and scales, the latter tinged very slightly with orange. 

 Coxae of front legs covered with whitish scales; femora black, concealed by yellow 

 scales; rest of the legs whitish, duskier toward tip, the tips of the tarsal joints pale 

 yellowish brown; spurs pale, their apical half dark reddish; spines luteous; claws 

 dnll luteous, reddish brown at tip. 



Wings above rich, bright orange, the female paler than the male and made also 

 duller by a few greatly scattered, snbdued. dusky scales; the extreme base of all the 

 wings griseous, with a sprinkling of dusky scales. Fore wings with the basal half of 

 the costal border griseous, with mingled greenish yellow and dusky or blackish scales ; 

 upper half of exterior border of cell marked by a narrow bent streak of blackish 

 brown; outer border very broadly margined with blackish brown, the interior border 

 of which is either clearly defined and extends in a deep curve, starting from the cos- 

 tal border just above the tip of the cell (but often sending a black streak along the 

 costal border, nearly as far as the base) and, with a slight tlentation at the principal 

 subcostal nervule and a slight indentation just above the lowest subcostal nervule, 

 passing to tlie middle of the wing (where it approaches nearest the outer border — an 

 interspace's distance) toward the inner border, continues the curve to the middle of 

 the raedio-snbmedian interspace, then bends back again as far as the submedian ner- 

 vure and again at right angles inward, and reaches the border at the middle of its 

 outer half (<J); or, powdery, extending from the costal border as in the male, in a 

 nearly straight line to the middle of the upper median interspace (where it is nearest 

 the outer border — one and a half or two interspaces distant) ; from here it passes by 

 a couple of waves, but in general at about an equal distance from the border, to the 

 middle of the medio-submedian interspace, where it suddenly terminates; beyond it, 

 however, there are scattered dusky scales, which at the tip of the submedian nervure 

 are clustered into a grizzly streak ($). This external bordering, at the tip of the 

 nervules terminating on the costal margin, is marked by obscure, pale yellow scales and 

 the fringe beyond them is white; on the outer border the fringe is orange, obscured at 

 base with blackish and sometimes faintly interrupted in the middle of the interspaces 

 with blackisli. Hind wings similarly bordered, the interior margin running from the 

 costal margin, midway between the tips of the costal and first superior subcostal ner- 

 vules either with a clearly defined line, in a rather deep and somewhat irregular curve, 

 opening baseward. almost to the upper median nervule not far beyond the tip of the 

 cell and from three-flfths to two-thirds the distance from the base of the wing ; here 

 it bends at a sharp angle outward and strikes the upper median nervule midway 

 between the apex of the cell and the outer border, continues subparallel to the bor- 

 der, nearly or quite to the lower median nervule and then curves toward the outer 

 border, where it terminates in the middle of the medio-submedian interspace, ofteu 

 obscured by grizzly scales {$); or, not sharply defined, having a general straiglit 

 direction, terminating at tlie tip of the lower median nervure; but it is broken at 

 every ner\'ule by the dark scales which cluster about them, forming sharp points 

 directed inward ; while a few scattered scales about the tip of the lower median ner- 

 vule sometimes cause the band to terminate, vaguely, in consonance with that of the 

 male ( ? ) ; the band in the female is uniformly dark, like that of the male, only in the 

 subcostal region ; below, it has a greater or less number of orange scales scattered 

 through it, and sometimes asserts its presence almost solely by the dusky scales
