of upper surface. The subcostal nervule, as it crosses this band, is distinctly 

 black, the other nervules and nervures scarcely showing. Opposite the inter- 

 space, at end of discoidal space, this tawny band juts outward toward hind 

 margin. The apical area is crossed by two lightish bands parallel to hind mar- 

 gin and very indistinct. Inside of the tawny band, the entire basal half of the 

 wing is dark rich brown, excepting four black lines which cross the discoidal 

 space in pairs. The two outer lines are parallel to each other. The inner line 

 of the next pair turns at its centre toward the base. 



The upper side of lower wing is of same ground color, marked by four wavy 

 lines or narrow bands of a lighter color which run across the outer half of the 

 wing following the contour of the hind margin. The inner two of these are 

 broader and less distinct than the outer two. The suffusion of these causes 

 the ground color between them to be broken into interspacial semi-circles, in 

 some specimens causing the ground color to become secondary to them. The 

 inner marginal space is lighter than ground color. 



On under side of fore wing, the costa is dark tawny half way to apex. The 

 discoidal space has a ground color of dark tawny. At its base, extending up- 

 ward from the wing joint, is a white dash surrounded by black and divided 

 from the ground color by a semi-circular black line bulging outward with a 

 small white dash within its upper and lower ends. Across the centre of dis- 

 coidal space, is a prominent silver band edged with black. At the lower outer 

 end of discoidal space, is an irregular silvery spot. The tawny band across the 

 wing is the same as on upper surface, except that the color is a light tawny and 

 the nervures and nervules are distinctly of a darker shade. The portion of this 

 band which juts outward toward hind margin is crossed at its centre by a 

 dark tawny band which extends downward, but indistinctly, across the lower 

 portions. The hind margin has a black thread, then a sixteenth-inch border of 

 dark tawny. Within this in apical area are four interspacial dashes of bright 

 tawny suffusing toward the base, and midway between these are three or four 

 silver spots in interspaces downward from costa. The basal side of these is 

 dashed with black. The outer side of the prominent band is touched with dark 

 brown, broad at centre of wing but linear toward lower angle. The basal 

 portion of the wing below the discoidal space and within the band is black 

 crossed by the dark tawny nervules, and just above the submedian nervure is a 

 silver spot touching discoidal space. 



The colors of under side of lower wing are the same as upper wing. The 

 ground color is bright tawny. Across the centre of wing, running from near 

 the apex to the anal angle, is a band of blackish brown, broad at the centre and 

 tapering toward anal angle. Within this, is a line of interspacial silver spots. 

 The hind margin with its border of dark tawny is the same as on fore wing. 



The basal and inner marginal area within the blackish brown band is bright 

 tawny. In the discoidal space are three prominent silver spots, one at its centre 

 and one at each end. Above these, on costa, are two silver spots of equal 

 prominence. The interspaces at end of discoidal space have dashes of silver. 

 The nervures and nervules are dark tawny.
