 the outer angle of the fore wings and against the lower 

 median interspace, where they are fuscous.

 markings, fulvous on disk, crossed by interrupted white 

 streaks ; the margin gray, presenting a series of obsolete 

 lunules, in front of each of which is a white border, 

 forming; a broken line like those on the disk. Hind 

 wings dark gray at base, paler gray over part of the 

 disk, then brown, followed by a broad white submarginal 

 space ; the base marked by three fuscous points placed 

 transversely, and the brown disk crossed by white 

 streaks as on the fore wings ; outer margin bordered 

 by a row of black spots, of which the first, next the anal 

 angle, is duplex and covered with metallic green scales ; 

 the next four are large, dead-black, and metallic only at 

 their base ; the next two wholly covered with metallic 

 scales.
