1400 Till-; liUTTEUFIJES OF XF.W ENtJLANl). 



tawny yellow hairs; beueatli vaiying from tawny bull' to yellowish brown and behiuij 

 the eye a slender rim of pale yellowish scales; palpi similar to nnder surface of head, 

 but near the apes becoming largely infuscated by brownish aud blackish fuliginous 

 or dark reddish brown scales of which the apical joint is mostly composed ; longer 

 blackish bristles are found on the exterior hilf of t!ie palpus; abive, the palpus re- 

 sembles the npi)er surface of the liead. Antennae above blackish brown, tinged often 

 M'ith dark olivaceous, on the crook and apical half of club with purplish reflections; 

 beneath pale greenish yellow with a nacreous lustre, sliading into dusky on the l)asal 

 half of the stalk; anterior surface of crook aud extremity of clul) naked and rather 

 pale castaneous. Tongue piceous, tip mahogany brown. 



Thorax covered above with dull tawny brown hairs having au olivaceous tinge. 

 , Beneath with blackish purple hairs with some yellowish or tawny ones. Femora dark 

 brown with a purplish tinge ; tibiae aud tarsi dull brown above, elsewhere clay yellow 

 or bull'; foliate appendage of fore tibiae glistening brownish yellow; spurs dull yel- 

 lowish tipped with very dark red ; spiues dusky reddish ; claws the same, deepening 

 toward the tip ; pad dusky. 



Wings above dark chocolate brown, occasionally tinged with very dark olivaceous, 

 and on the basal half, particularly below, covered extensively with very dark tawny 

 hairs. Fure loinys provided with such hairs more profusely next the base than beyond 

 and they seldom extend over more than one-third of the wing; crossing the middle of 

 the wing in a line drawn from the middle of the basal four-fifths of the costal margin 

 to the extremity of the submedian nervule is abroad, irregular, unequal band of amber 

 yellow, the scales erect, occasionally tinged in places with orange and extending from 

 the costal margin to or just beyond the middle of tlie medio-submediau interspace ; 

 the nervnres crossing it are delicately marked with brown; Its interior border is more 

 regular tliau its exterior, runniug at nearly right angles with the costal border with 

 a slight, or occasionally considerable, bow, its convexity inwards, to the middle of the 

 basal two-thirds of the lower median nervule; where the band crosses the cell, its 

 ■width is nearly or quite twice that of the latter, its exterior border passing in an irreg- 

 ular line. In general parallel to the interior border, from the costal margin (at the ex- 

 tremity of the costal fold in the J) to the base of the upper median nervule ; it 

 resumes its course at a little within the middle of the basal two-thirds of the middle 

 median nervule and crosses the lower median interspace, usually sinuously, at right 

 angles to the uervules; the termination of the bau.l consists of a smaller, usually 

 triangular or subtriangular spot, its apex downwards, aud the middle of its base at 

 the limit of the exterior border of the upper part of the band ; occasionally, however, 

 the interior edge of the spot is in continuation with, or even outside of, the exterior 

 margin of the band; a small, transversely quadrate, occasionally slightly arcuate, 

 similarly colored spot crosses the middle of the basal two-thirds of the upper median 

 interspace; and beyond, as far from the baud as that from the base of the wing are 

 three quite small, white or pale yellow, subfenestrate, quadrate spots in the successive 

 interspaces below the third .superior subcostal nervule, the upper two longitudinal 

 (the uppermost usually the largest), in a line at right angles to the costal margin, the 

 lower square or transverse, its interior border on a line with or slightly beyond the 

 exterior border of the upper two. The costal fold of the $ filled with glistening, 

 brownish yellow scales and hairs. Fringe slightly darker than the wing, especially at 

 the nervure tips, its outer half, at least below the subcostal area, broadly interrupted 

 with pale brownish yellow or'dull white. Hind viinys provided with the tawny hairs 

 more conspicuously aud extensively than the fore wings, but they are less frequent on 

 the outer third of the wing and above the cell ; they are also supplanted by longer 

 dark brown hairs next the inner margin and often along the principal uervules of the 

 outer half of the wing. Fringe of the color of the wing, darker at the nervure tips 

 and below the middle of the medio-submediau interspace, above which it is interrupted 

 apically as in the fore wings. 



Beneath blackish brown with a castaneous or vinous tinge, the hinds wings slightly 

 darker than the fore wings. Fore wings witli the markings of the upper surface exactly
