 male, and the wings are short and broad, with rounded hind 

 margins ; the legs are stout and pilose, the hind tibiae being 

 armed with four short spurs. 



The larva is a curious boat-shaped creature, and is armed 

 above with a double row of long and very thick spikes. Dr 

 Packard detected in it a resemblance to the famous war-shif

This elegant little species is a native of the United States. 

 It expands about an inch. The fore-wings are brown with 

 something of a reddish tinge. They have a dark brown band
