ILLUSTRATIONS OF UNFIGURED LEPIDOPTERA. 47 



the border is dark mouse color, three-eighths of an inch wide, edged toward 

 base with a broad jagged line of slightly lighter hue. At apex are three 

 small white spots. The rest of the wing is regal purple, except a portion 

 near base which is dark mouse color. 



The hind wing is the same. The hind marginal space, to the third median 

 nervule, is light grayish brown, and bordering this nervule, half an inch 

 above anal angle, is an elongated dead yellow spot about one-third of an inch 

 long. The dark mouse-colored space near base is covered with long nearly 

 black hairs. 



The under side, owing to many irregular jagged black lines, etc., is difficult 

 to describe. 



The under side of fore wing has a broad light fulvous border, nearly half 

 an inch wide. In the centre of this, extending from apex to lower angle, are 

 two jagged black or brownish lines one-eighth of an inch apart, bordered on 

 outer side with a bit of fulvous a shade lighter than the ground color. The 

 costa is mouse color, covered generously with light fulvous scales. On inner 

 edge of the marginal border the three apical white spots appear, bordered on 

 marginal side with a dash of rich brown, which is black, however, at upper 

 spot. In the space below is a small oblong ocellus, having four minute white 

 dots on a black ground and all surrounded by a line of light fulvous. In the 

 space below this is another smaller ocellus, one-sixteenth of an inch in diam- 

 eter, of similar coloring. These ocelli do not show on upper side. Inside of 

 the light fulvous border is a space of varying width, one-third to one-half 

 inch, with a linear border of blackish brown, transversely crossed by a mass 

 of fulvous wavy lines. This space is narrowest opposite discoidal space, 

 broadening out toward costa and inner margin. Inside of this and extend- 

 ing from costa through outer point of discoidal space, is a space of light 

 fulvous three-eighths of an inch wide, jaggedly bordered by a darker line and 

 dusted somewhat on inner side with silver scales. The discoidal space is 

 crossed by a silver line about a quarter inch wide at costa and narrowing 

 somewhat toward inner margin which it meets at right angles. This line, 

 extending as it does across the hind wing, is the prominent feature of the 

 lower side. In the centre of this silver band, beginning at the costa, is a 

 black jagged thread, leaving it at the centre of the discoidal space and ex- 

 tending to the median nervule. The area on basal side of this silver band is 

 dark fulvous with one black thread running down from costa, and when mid- 

 way, turning toward the silver band. The lower interspaces are suffused 

 with black toward the base. The outer portion of discoidal space contains 

 two oblong black-edged figures and another below them, circular in shape and 

 lighter in color. 



The hind wing has no defined border, the entire outer half being of light 

 fulvous transversely crossed with a mass of wavy blackish lines. Under the 

 costa, midway from base to apex, is a fulvous ocellus, one-quarter inch across, 

 bordered by a black thread and inclosing a half moon of minute white specks.
