 part of the fore wings, and a broad band through the 

 hind wings from the base out, washed with dusky fulvous. 

 The fore wings have a subterminal broken row of spots, 

 all whitish but the last, which is yellowish, also a small 

 spot at the end of the cell ; the two between the branches 

 of the median vein with the outer angles much extended. 

 Hind wings with the subterminal spots of the under 

 side showing through a little. 



Under side fuscous gray, sprinkled with pale yellow 

 scales. The spots on the upper surface of the fore wings 

 are repeated, white in color, those of the subterminal 

 row blended into three groups, the lower widened pos- 

 teriorly, so as to suffuse most of the posterior angle area. 

 The hind wings have two very much bent white bands, 

 the outer not reaching the inner margin. 



Male. — Upper surface fuscous, the fore wings, with the 

 cell and a patch below the stigma, distinct yellow, in- 

 clining to fulvous, the hinder portion, from the end of 

 the cell to the posterior angle, washed with yellow, and 

 a row of five yellow spots in the outer fuscous field, 

 the two beyond the cell much out of line with the others. 

 The stigma very oblique, narrow, jet-black, contracted 

 in the middle. - 



Hind wings, with all but a costal edge and a very 

 narrow terminal border, heavily washed with yellow, 

 inclining to a fulvous shade in the central portion. 

 Fringes white, fuscous at base. Under side as in the 

 female.
