68 AMERICAN LKPIDOPTERA. 



along dorsum for inner third. There is a lighter subterniinal shade of the same 

 color which joins the outer ends of the three streaks together. The two yellow 

 interspaces are about of equal width to the red streaks. As in bistriata there are 

 vertical strigulations of shiniug irridescent scales, they are more conspicuous on 

 the red streaks, and in the inner part of wing are nearly obsolete on the yellow 

 shades. Cilia yellowish at apex, becoming pinkish at anal angle. 



Hindwing: purplish-fuscous, cilia paler; underside gray, with a purplish tinge. 



Underside forewing: ochreish-purple, narrowly ochreish along costa, and paler 

 beneath fold.

 inwardly oblique fascia. The dark markings of the female specimens are larger 

 and more abundant than of the male, the spots of the outer fascia are broader and 

 there is a small dark spot on inner fourth of dorsum in line with the axis of the 

 costal spot above it ; there is also a fine strigulation of dark dots on costa between
