behind the middle spot in the cell to vein i. At the origin of vein 2, 

 external to the cell, is a small round blackish spot. These markings 

 are succeeded beyond the cell by a narrow and somewhat obscurely 

 defined blackish line which runs from the costa as far as vein 4 in a 

 straight line, and is then continued as far as vein i, curving inwardly. 

 This line is emphasized toward the costa by five small white spots lying 

 external to it forming a series of minute white dashes. The external 

 margin is ob.scurely clouded with fuscous, and between veins i and 2, 

 near the outer margin, is an ill-defined blackish spot which reproduces 

 on the upper surface the large and sharply defined black spot of the 

 lower side. The fringes are fuscous. 



The secondaries have the same prevalently reddish ground-color as 

 the upper side. They are ornamented at the base by three or four 

 l)lackish spots succeeded by a curved subbasal blackish transverse band 

 which is irregular in outline and does not reach the inner margin. 

 Beyond this subbasal band is a fine black band which curves outwardly 

 about the middle and is continued from near the costa to vein i. A 

 broader blackish band obscurely defined both outwardly and inwardly 

 succeeds this finer curved line. On its outer edge it is emphasized by 

 an orange-red shade. At the anal angle is a large black ocellus sur- 

 rounded by a pale orange-yellow annulus which is obsolete on the side 

 of the outer angle of the wing. On this side the ocellus is marked by 

 a very pale blue linear streak running parallel to the nervules. The 

 outer angle of the wing is shaded with fuscous. The fringes are fuscous. 



On the under side the wings are slaty gray. The markings of the 

 upper side of the primaries are reproduced on the lower side, but are 

 black and more i)rominent, especially the markings located near the 

 inner margin between the cell and vein i. These markings are accen- 

 tuated by reason of the fact that the ground color in their immediate 

 vicinity fades into pale creamy white. The series of white dashes on 

 the upper side is reproduced on the lower side, but larger, and is con- 

 tinued across the wing as far as vein i, the lower spot between veins 

 1 and 2 being diffuse and broad. There is a conspicuous black ocellus 

 on the outer margin between veins 1 and 2. This ocellus is marked 

 on its upper side by a pale white linear dash. The markings on the 

 lower side of the secondaries are greatly reduced in size when com- 

 pared with the upper side and consi.st of small blackish punctulations, 

 indicating the course of the bands on the upper surface of the wing. 

 The large ocellus which is so conspicuous on the upper side of the
