72 AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 



spots reaching to top of cell ; there are three to four rows of hoiizontal spots be- 

 neath the costal spots. The spots are separated by the light fawn ground color, 

 which forms irregular oblique lines. There is a line of black scales from middle 

 of wing in upper third of cell and passing through the end of it between veins 

 6 and 7, it stops before termen and the black scales on the outer end are more 

 scattered ; within the cell, above the black line, are two long and narrow pure 

 white shining spots, the black line rounding the lower edge of each, outside the 

 cell is a similar white spot below the black line, with a short spur of black around 

 the outer edge. There are a few scattered black scales in the fold between inner 

 fifth and dorsum. Cilia shining, whitish-fawn. 



Hind wing: above and below pure white, with a few light fuscous scales below 

 costa. 



Underside forewing: whitish-fawn, with a pink or flesh-color tinge, paler along 

 costa. 



Eight specimens : Glenwood Springs, Colo., Aug. and Sept., re- 

 ceived from Dr. Dietz, but probably collected by Dr. Barnes; one 

 specimen, U. S. Nat. Mus., "Colo. 2758"; Lamy, New Mexico,

Types in U. S. Nat. Mus. 



The appearance of this insect is somewhat like T. houstonaua

 abdomen and legs pale ochreish, latter dusted with brown. 



Forewing: golden-brown, with the scales frequently tipped with ferruginous 

 and mottled with light fawn. The most conspicuous markings are on costa in 

 upper third of wing ; before the middle of costa is a large Indian-red spot, curved 

 on under side, which reaches one-third below costa, in it are two vertical light 

 plum color costal spots; close to base is a smaller Indian-red spot, with a plum 

 color center; between these two is a spot of shining pale fawn, divided by a 

 faint ferruginous line; a similar pale fawn spot is beyond the larger red spot; 

 these two light spots continue as fascia to dorsal margin ; beyond this is a wider 

 but narrower Indian-red spot with two faint costal yellowish dots, beyond this 

 and into apex the color is pale yellowish-fawn. In the outer end of wing beyond 

 cell are three or four vertical lines of shining scales, whitish, with a faint lila- 

 ceous tinge ; in the upper half of this space, between the shining lines, is a deeper 

 red shade, in which are tiny dots or buttons of raised scales. Cilia shining pink, 

 pale ochreish at apex. 



Hind wing: cream color within, coppery around margins, cilia the same shade, 

 but shining; underside coppery.
