flection. The fore wings have a series of yellow spots, 

 — the first three anteapical, the next two between the 

 branches of the median vein, and the sixth a small one 

 on the submedian. The hind wings have the usual 

 greenish-yellow hairs over the inner part, and two small, 

 faint, contiguous spots at the end of the cell. The male 

 differs from the female in having an oblique stigma, and 

 in having an overlaying of greenish-yellow scales on tlie 

 basal portion of the wings, though scarcely enough to 

 change the color. 



Under side yellowish brown, the posterior half, or 

 more, of the fore wings blackish. The si)ots of the fore 

 wings are repeated, except the last one. The hind wings 

 have an indistinct yellowish band of five or six spots.

 with olivaceous scales, the posterior part of the fore 

 wings more blackish, and the costal margin sprinkled 

 with yellow. The spots of the fore wings are repeated, 

 and there is an indistinct row of spots across the hind 

 wings. There is the same difference between the males 

 and the females on the upper surface as in the form Otho. 



This is a variable species, the form Otho seeming to 

 be the Southern form, while Egeremet is the Northern, 

 with intergrades covering the intervening ground. One 

 of these forms, a female, named Ursa, Worth., differs 

 from the form Otho in having the posterior spot on the 

 fore wings lacking, and in there being traces of a band
