large as the largest of the first, one metallic point in all 

 but one ocellus where the scales scatter a little, circular. 



Body concolorous ; antennae above on basal two-thirds 

 of the color of the wings, terminal third orange shading 

 into the basal color ; beneath whitish, outer third orange ; 

 sides of basal two-thirds brown and whitish. 



Female. — Differs from the male in being paler both 

 above and below, and slightly in the arrangement of 

 the transverse lines on the under side. In two out of 

 four the second and third lines distinctly unite with each 

 other near the anal angle, while the lines by which the 

 first and second and the third and fourth unite are to be 

 seen, but are obscure. In one of the other there is no 

 union between the second and third, while there is plain 

 union between first and second and third and fourth. 

 The fourth has a distinct union between the first and 

 second and third and fourth, but the rounded ends of 

 these unions touch. Both wings of the same example 

 are alike in this character. Ocelli as in the males, with 

 about the same amount of variation. 



The food-plant is probably one of the wild grasses.
