stopping at the second branching of the median, the 

 lower on the submedian about one-third the distance 

 from the base. 



Hind wings with the central area yellow, consisting 

 of a broad band across the disk composed of four oblong 

 spots between the veins, the second wholly or partially 

 divided into two spots, and a small spot in the end of 

 the cell ; the width of the band about one-third the length 

 of the wing. The inner third with yellowish olivaceous 

 hairs. 



Under side dark brown, slightly ferruginous, the fore 

 wings, with the basal two thirds, fuscous, shading out- 

 wardly into the brown. The costal margin is over- 

 laid with yellow which extends into the cell. Mark- 

 ing the outer third is a band of dull yellow spots, — the 

 two anterior in the two lower subcostal interspaces, the 

 third in the second space below these, the next two in 

 the median interspaces, and the sixth below the fifth, 

 separated only by the vein ; the last four forming a 

 continuous band but for the brown veins. The hind 

 wings, as well as the apical portion of the fore wings, 

 are sprinkled with ferruginous yellow, the band of the 

 upper surface repeated, but the spots somewhat con- 

 tracted. 



Female. — Upper surface dark or fuscous brown, as in 

 the male, with slight vinous reflection, the base a little 

 sprinkled with yellowish olivaceous scales. Two-thirds 

 the distance from the base is a band of eight more or less 

 distinct yellow spots, the sixth and seventh a little pale. 

 The first three of these spots are in the subcostal inter- 

 spaces, twice as long as broad ; the next two beyond the 

 cell, subquadrate, the fifth with its outer side in line with
