thence to the costa ; a short bar between this and the 

 apex. Three connected black lunules, the central much 

 the widest, run from beyond the middle of the hind 

 margin to the third median venule. In some this line 

 is prolonged by the addition of one or two more very 

 delicate crescents. 



Hind wings ochrey yellow, with indistinct pale fulvous 

 lines near the base, and a row of rounded dots followed 

 by pale lunules of the same color near the outer margin ; 

 rarely one of the last is bright ferruginous. 



Female. — Similar to the male on the upper surface, 

 the inner band of the fore wings paler than in the male. 

 On the under side the reticulations are plainer. 



West Virginia, Maryland, New York to Ohio. 



54. Eresia Frisia, Poey. 



Expanse of wings 1.4 inches. 



Upper surface reddish fulvous, the base dusky. Across 

 the inner third are four more or less distinct sinuous 

 black lines, which are fine and nearly distinct on the hind 

 wings, but are heavier and more blended on the fore 

 wings, and in places connected by cross-lines. Beyond 

 the basal third the fore wings are crossed by three black 

 bands and a terminal border, the first and second united 

 into a broad band at the end of the cell, reaching from the 

 median vein to the costa, with a fulvous spot at the end of 

 the cell just within the edge of the band, the two bands 

 approaching each other near the submedian ; the third 

 band expanded from the costa back to the fifth subcostal 

 venule, from which it gradually contracts across two 

 interspaces, expanding abruptly at this point, where it 

 unites with the second band, to separate again below the
