322 THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE 



of yellow extends along the median vein the same dis- 

 tance, the area below this to the hind margin rather 

 heavily sprinkled with yellow scales, except the space 

 beyond the lower half of the stigma, being in this much 

 like Cernes. In Cernes there is a quadrate sinus of the 

 terminal dark brown of the wing dipping into the yel- 

 low beyond the cell, coming up to the cross-vein. In 

 this species the sinus is of the same width, but extends 

 inward above the median vein, ending in a point half- 

 way to the base of the wing. The stigma is black, nar- 

 row, oblique, entire, though constricted below the middle, 

 shorter than in Cernes, does not reach the submedian 

 below, and the upper end reaches only the second branch 

 of the median, while in Cernes it passes beyond this 

 venule, the lower third bent a little towards the base, 

 not more than half as wide as in Cernes; below the 

 stigma an oblong patch of blackish scales which are 

 bronzy in certain lights. The hind wings are sprinkled 

 with yellow scales, the inner half with yellowish hairs 

 which are less olivaceous than in Cernes. 



One specimen has on the fore wings, marking what 

 is above described as the outer boundary of yellow, five 

 small yellow spots which are paler than the yellow along 

 the costa, — three in a line back from the costa, and two 

 in the median interspaces ; the yellow washing does not 

 quite reach to these spots, there being less yellow also at 

 the base; varying in amount of yellow, as is sometimes 

 seen in different specimens of Cernes. 



Under side of fore wings much as above, the yellow 

 orange-tinted, the row of slightly paler spots at the end 

 of the yellow showing more distinctly than above, the 

 apical half of the terminal space sprinkled with yellow,
