from centre of costa downward, touching end of discoidal space, and strTking 

 inner margin one-third distance from lower angle to base. The portion oppo- 

 site the lower end of discoidal space extends outward toward hind margin. 

 The veins crossing the bands are distinctly marked, being dark brown. One- 

 sixteenth inch within hind margin is an irregular black line following contour 

 of the margin, and within this is a suffused band of a color slightly lighter than 

 ground color, somewhat indistinct. The space between this and the tawny 

 band, including the apical area, is of the ground color. The basal area within 

 the tawny band is of the ground color, crossed by black lines as follows : in 

 discoidal space a line starts from median nervure, very near the base, and runs 

 upward, striking the subcostal nervure, and then turns abruptly downward 

 across centre of discoidal space ; below, in next interspace, this line forms two 

 small circles, one above the other. Across outer portion of discoidal space, 

 run two parallel black lines. 



The lower wing is crossed by three parallel bands, somewhat lighter than 

 ground color, starting at costa near apex and joining at anal angle. Within hind 

 margin, midway to the first of these bands, is an indistinct line of the same color 

 following the dentations of the margin. There is a fourth and broader band 

 within the three mentioned, running from centre of costa, terminating also at 

 anal angle, but it is very indistinct. The basal portion of wing is of ground 

 color, excepting a very indistinct band of darkish across the discoidal space. 

 Just above the anal angle, one may say at the anal angle, is a tawny spot. 



The under surface is generally blackish, marked with white and tawny. 



On under side of fore wing, the first half of costa, from base upward, is tawny. 

 From the base, in discoidal space, is a dash of white extending along the sub- 

 costal nervure ; outside of this the discoidal space is crossed by a white triangle 

 surrounded by a black line; the balance of discoidal space is dark tawny 

 crossed by a very promment spot or band of silvery white with a black border. 

 There is a very small white dot also at lower outer end of the space, surrounded 

 by black. The tawny band of the upper surface is white, but is encroached 

 upon, and so lessened in extent, by the suffusion of the blackish ground color. 

 Within the hind margin appear the line and band noted on upper surface, but 

 at the apex and lower angle, for the first three interspaces, these are white. 

 The basal area below the discoidal space and within the main band is crossed 

 by two broad white bands. 



The under side of hind wing is crossed at its centre by a prominent silvery 

 white band running from centre of costa nearly to anal angle, forming an ex- 

 tension of the band on the fore wing. This is the band which appears so indis- 

 tinctly on upper side within the three first bands there noted. Outside of this 

 band the ground color is blackish, crossed by three bands of white dusted with 

 tawny as they approach anal angle. The outer one of these is broad and dis- 

 tinct, broken by the veins. Just within the margin is a thread of white, inter- 

 spacial and following the dentations of margin. Within the main silvery band 

 and extending from costa to anal angle, is a broad black band, dashed with
