166 THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE 



enclosing a pale space. Below the cell is a bar bent 

 outward in the middle. 



Under side of fore wings fulvous to the zigzag line, 

 with discal pale spot. The outer half of the wing is 

 pale, with a little submarginal reddish wash below the 

 apex, and a large gray triangle on the costa. A brown 

 spot near the posterior angle sends a marginal streak 

 towards the apex. 



The hind wings are pale brown in the basal half, 

 streaked with white along the veins, and with transverse 

 striae of darker brown. Beyond the middle they are 

 wliitish, shading off into the same brown as the base, 

 with more or less whitish along the margin, the anal 

 portion of the outer half being nearly as dark as the 

 base, while the costal portion is almost v/liite. There 

 are about three indistinct submarginal ocelli. 



The Qgg is conoidal, depressed at the top, flat at the 

 base, shaped much like the eggs of Argynnis, but 

 taller in proportion to the breadth, and the sides less 

 rounded ; marked by about twenty longitudinal ribs, 

 half of wliicli reach the summit, forming a serrated 

 vein round the depression, marked by cross-striae. 



The young larvae are cylindrical, thickest from joint 

 6 to joint 9. Color greenish yellow, each joint from 

 3 to 12 crossed transversely by two irregular rows of 

 dark tuberculated spots or points on a pale ground, with 

 ablack hair from each. The second segment has a black 

 stripe across the dorsum. Head black. 



The color after moulting is reddish yellow, with two 

 dorsal rows and one lateral row of indistinct whitish spots, 

 which cover the junction of the segments and are in line 

 with the spines. There are six rows of short, fleshy,
