Palpi creuni color, with outer half of tuft on secoud joint dull black; a small black 

 dot at base of first joint, above. Antennae fuscous, paler between joints. Thorax 

 olivaceous, posterior end of patagia cream color. Abdomen olivaceous brown, 

 anal tuft cream; legs creamy white, dusted with brown. 



Fore wing: — Scales black at base, ochreous at tips, causing the ground color 

 to appear as fine vertical strigulae of ochreous on a black ground. From the middle 

 of the dorsal margin four white lines converge towards the upper end and terminate 

 at middle of wing, slanting outwardly to end of cell; the two middle lines are the 

 most distinct, the outer ones being somewhat broken and not quite reaching the 

 apex of the cluster. Between these and ba.se, on dorsal margin, are two shorter 

 white lines, inwardly oblique ending at fold, they are somewhat angulated with a 

 tendency to turn outward at the upper end. On the costa before the middle are 

 two pairs of white dashes, resting on the costal fold, from the outer pair a shade 

 of blue continues to the apex of the cluster of white lines. Beyond the middle 

 another pair of white costal dashes gives rise to a metallic blue line which curves 

 outward and inward before the termen to the anal angle, enclosing at the end of the 

 cell a rounded ochreous yellow spot divided by three horizontal black lines. On 

 the outer fourth of co.sta are three single white dashes, the middle one sending off 

 a blue metallic line which ends beneath the apex on the termen; a few blue scales 

 outline each of the other two dots. On the extreme outer margin are five velvety 

 black dots, the two upper ones being separated by a white dash, the outer end of 

 which overlaps the cilia. There are two white dots on the lower side of the ochreous 

 patch at end of cell, with a spur from the long blue metallic line enclosing the outer 

 one. The male costal fold is nearly half the length of the wing. Cilia shining fuscous 

 preceded by a paler line. 



Hind wing: — Smoky brown, paler towards base, cilia fu.scous preceded by a 

 paler shade; underside the same with a whitish shade over the cell. Underside 

 of fore wing shining bronze brown, dotted with white along costa. and the cilia 

 cut with a white dash below the apex. 



Two specimens: "Valley," June 1.

Plate VIII, Fig. 11. 



Expanse 13.5 mm. 



Head olivaceous brown, face and palpi light clay brown. Antennip pale clay 

 brown, darker between joints. Thorax dark gray; abdomen black above paler be- 

 neath, anal tuft clay brown; legs the same with tarsi powdered with blackish scales. 



Fore wing: — Dingy brownish black, with several sordid white transverse lines. 

 At inner third a geminate white line from costa to dorsum; just beyond middle 

 a .short oblique line goes to middle where it nearly joins a similar line from costa 

 beyond; the two form a rough triangle enclosing a spot of ground color of the same 

 shape, below the lower ends of these two lines is a vertical white line from dorsal 

 margin, .slightly outwardly oblique. On the outer fourth of costa are two shorter 

 white lines, the outer one curving under the apex. From the anal angle a similar 

 white line runs to lower end of cell. The black preciliate line is cut by four or five 

 small whitish dashes.
