46 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 



within this line is another running from costa to lower submedian nervule, 

 not quite parallel to the first line but approaching it somewhat at its lower 

 part; at the lower submedian nervule this line turns at a right angle and 

 crosses inner marginal space. Across end of discoidal space is a black line. 

 Nervures and nervules are somewhat darker than ground color. 



Under side of hind wing same color as fore wing. Hind margin edged 

 with a black thread. Beginning at costal nervure at a point one-third dis- 

 tance from base to apex is a heavy jet-black line running downwards, towards 

 anal angle, crossing subcostal nervure at its junction with first subcostal 

 nervule, and ending at median nervure. Outside of this, about one-eighth 

 inch, is a second heavy jet-black line, starting at first subcostal nervule, and 

 running down to lower submedian nervule, striking it one-eighth inch above 

 hind margin. Another similar line starts at apex and runs downwards, one- 

 quarter inch within hind margin, joining the last-mentioned line at lower 

 submedian nervule. Betwixt this and hind margin, but much nearer the 

 margin, is a black line, scarcely visible at apex, but becoming more promi- 

 nent as it approaches anal angle. The area at lower angle, described on 

 upper surface, is black, the tails also. The blue line crossing it is the same 

 as on upper surface. Just above this, in interspace above submedian nervure, 

 is a black line forming a circle, dusted with blue at its lower inside edge. 

 In the inner marginal space are two parallel black threads, starting near base 

 and crossing downwards to submedian nervure ; the first is edged with blue 

 on its lower side, the second edged with blue on its upper side. The nerv- 

 ures and nervules are black.
