4 ILLUSTRATION'S OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 



brown along hind margins covers marginal area; near hind margin a row of 

 seven white spots in interspaces, the upper two elongated, and all bordered 

 with a soft dash of blackish brown on basal and outer sides, more apparent 

 on basal side. Within these, and one third distance from margin to base, a 

 second row of seven white spots, larger than the first and cone-shaped (apex 

 outward), bordered with black on basal side only, arranged, the upper three in 

 a line at right angle to costa, the next three at right angle with inner margin, 

 and the lower one not in line, but placed nearer hind margin ; the upper three 

 are placed in the dark brown of marginal area, the lower four in the fulvous 

 ground color. Above this row and nearly in costal edge, is a small white 

 speck ; at the end of cell a large white spot edged on each side with black ; 

 below this, extending from median nervule to submedian nervure, another 

 large white spot, bordered with black on basal side only and irregular in 

 shape; between these two, in notch formed by junction of median nervule 

 and median nervure, a small blackish brown spot. In centre of cell a round 

 white spot bordered with black, and below this, below nervure, another white 

 spot bordered with black ; between these and base two slight dashes of white; 

 nervures and nervules dark brown. Secondaries are marked the same, except 

 that in second row of white spots the second two are much elongated, with 

 basal ends joining and forming a V I also, on the costa over centre of cell, a 

 larger elongated white spot with no border. 



Wings, beneath, much the same as above, except general coloring is much 

 lighter and brighter and there is some lustre. Costa of primaries edged with 

 white near base, broader at base, and tapering off to a point half way up the 

 wing. White spots more suffused ; those forming the V on the upper side of 

 secondaries blended in one irregular spot, and elongated or suffused enough to 

 join with white spot in cell. Base of hind wings, and inner margin of same, 

 generously dashed with silvery scales.
