is a mere dot, the next three are a little longer than wide, 

 the fifth and sixth are narrow but reaching from vein to 

 vein, the seventh and eighth are in the median inter- 

 spaces, and the ninth is above the submedian. The last 

 three are somewhat irregularly convex on the inner side, 

 but less so on the outer. Hind wings without spots, but 

 with a yellow washing along the outer margin. 



Under side deep brown, like the upper, but brighter, 

 the outer portion of both wings pearly gray, with a patch 

 of the same color on the middle of the costa of the hind 

 wings, and a white crescent below it, and the same scales 

 sprinkled along the inner margin and the faint streaks 

 through the wings. The spots of the fore wings are re- 

 peated, but somewhat enlarged, the color paler yellow, 

 whitisli in the costal region. 



Female. — The general color and markings of the fore 

 wings as in the male, but much larger. The spot in the 

 cell extends from vein to vein, and inward along the 

 median a little way towards the base, the three spots 

 above nearly as long as the spot in the cell is wide. Be- 

 sides the much enlarged anteapical spots, which are paler 

 yellow than the other spots, there are three oblique pale 

 yellow spots on the costa before the apex. The lower 

 three spots of the submarginal band are widened, so that 

 the inner upper corner almost reaches the cell. Hind 

 wings, besides the yellow scales along the margin, have a 

 discal row of four small spots not reaching either margin. 

 Under side as in the male, except that the spots are more 

 prominent, and the spots near the costa of the fore wings 

 are more washed with white. The female is larger than 

 the male, the smaller of the expanses given applying to 

 the male.
