44 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 



jagged line runs downward to submedian nervure, then turns upward, just 

 touching discoidal space, and meeting the costa at a point just beyond its 

 centre, forming a triangular figure with its base resting on the costa. In the 

 centre of this, in apical area, is a double ocellus, its centre being black, with 

 two silvery dots, all surrounded by a line of light brown. 



Hind wing bronzy brown. Hind margin has a slight hairy fringe. One- 

 sixteenth inch from margin a dark line runs from apex to anal angle, parallel 

 with the margin. In some specimens the space between this line and the 

 margin is lighter colored than the ground color. In other specimens the color 

 is the same. In anal angle area, above the lower submedian nervule, is a 

 small ocellus, having a black centre with a white dot and a light brown 

 border. Inner marginal space light brown. 



Under side of fore wing brown, much lighter than upper surface. The 

 dark line forming the triangle on upper surface is repeated. The double ocel- 

 lus is larger, and its border is yellowish white. The fringe of hairs at hind 

 margin shows lighter than ground color. Apical area is dusted with gray 

 scales. 



The under side of hind wing is divided between brown and gray, brown 

 being the ground color. A space one-eighth inch wide on hind margin, run- 

 ning from apex to anal angle, and thence upward to base of wing, is gray, 

 generously dusted with brown scales. A straight gray band of nearly equal 

 width runs from costa downward, grazing discoidal space, and ending at anal 

 angle. The inner edge of this band has a line of dark brown. The basal area 

 is heavily dusted with gray scales. The intervening spaces are brown, match- 

 ing fore wing. In some specimens the gray band suffuses into the grayish 

 portion of hind margin, making the outer half of the wing gray, with a line 

 of large, interspacial, brown dashes along its centre. The basal area is also 

 bordered by a dark line, within which the basal dusting of gray scales is 

 confined.
