Denis. 



Imago (17 : 10, 13). Head covered above with pale tawny liairs, sometimes with a 

 few blackish ones interniinged with thoni, but inconspicuously; even the tufts on the 

 inner and outer side of the base of the antennae are composed of tawny hairs, more or 

 less dusky on a front view ; scales below and encircling; the back of the eye white, 

 tinged with yellow, becoming tawny above; palpi yellowish, pale at base, growing 

 pale tawny toward the tip. a single series of black bristles down the outer front edge 

 of the middle joint ; the upper surface of the apical joint blackish. Antennae black 

 above throughout, excepting the crook of the club; beneath pale buH' throughout, ex- 

 cepting beyond the middle of the club, wliich with the crook is naked and dusky orange. 

 Tongue black, tinged in apical half with castaneous. 



Thorax covered above with pale tawny hairs, having a slight greenish tinge, and 

 posteriorly dulled with dusky tints ; beneath pale, dirty buff. Legs buff-colored, femora 

 with a dusky stripe on inside, a dusky tip ; tibiae paler beneath ; tarsi growing slightly 

 darker toward the tip ; leaf-like appendage of fore tibiae pale yellowish brown ; spurs 

 buff, tipped with reddish; spines reddish luteous ; claws the same ; pad dusky. 



WiuKs above pale tawny. The fore wings have a peculiar dark brown bordering to 

 the outer margin, consisting of a series of triangular patches (below) or longitudinal 

 dashes (above) in each interspace, seated on the border and united only nest the bor- 

 der; in some specimens they are wholly independent in the upper half of the wing, and 

 in the ? they are more largely connected than in the $ ; their interior limits follow a 

 regular curve from the middle of the outer two-tifths of the costal border to the mid- 

 dle of the outer two-thirds ( ^ ) or four-fifths (?) of the inner border, excepting, how- 

 ever, in the interspaces beyond the tip of the cell, where they suddenly retreat toward 

 the border making the spots no longer than broad; the veins closing the extremity of 

 the cell are rather broadly flecked with dark brown, which scarcely reaches the median 

 nervules, but is accompanied by and connected with a long longitudinal dash in the 

 upper of the two interspaces beyond, reaching more than halfway to the border, and by a 

 similar, also (generally) connected dash in the Iowit of the two interspaces, often as 

 long as the upper, and then forming with it and the mark on the apex of the cell a single 

 oblong patch, usually a little shorter but still connected, sometimes much shorter and 

 detached ; it is heavier in the $ than in the $ , and is there connected at its tip above 

 with the black bordering, and on its basal half above with a dark patch which runs to 

 the costal margin, enclosing a small, circular, tawny spot outside of it and having an 

 ill-defined interior border; the costal edge of the ? is also blackish ; base of the wing 

 more or less heavily obscured, more heavily in the ? than in the (J, with dark brown 

 scales, which usually follow the subcostal, median and submedian veins for a distance 

 about equal to the width of the base of the wing in the J, but in the ? are more 

 diffused and are accompanied also by a longitudinal dusky streak in the middle of the 

 cell, and a large, dark, longitudinal, subijuadrate patch as broad as the width of the 

 cell, occupying the place of the $ dash, limited above by the median nervure, its 

 upper outer angle touching the lower inner angle of the spot at tip of the cell, its in- 

 terior border ill-defined and reaching more than halfway toward the base. The <? 

 dash (43 :4) is velvety black, reaches from the last divarication of the median to the 

 basal two-thirds of the submedian nervure, and is composed of two equal, partially 

 overlapping, straight, ovate or fusiform patches, the outer scarcely higher than the 

 inner, each about four times as long as broad, together forming a scarcely sinuous
