230 LEPIDOPTERA. 



outwardly with a shade of brown ; first line not far beyond, 

 erect, angulated, broken, and obscure, deep black edged 

 inwardly with brown ; a short distance further is a similar 

 erect line of small deep black clouds ; second line also deep 

 black, erect to the middle, thence thrown abruptly outwards 

 into two large lobes, but returning to a black costal spot 

 which is edged outwardly by a pale brown or whitish dot ; 

 subterminal line represented by a series of broad bronzy- 

 brown clouds, broadest toward the anal angle and edged 

 with black clouds; orbicular stigma perhaps indicated by a 

 round black cloudy spot in the supplemental first line ; reni- 

 form stigma very obscure, placed in the mouths of the two 

 lobes of the second line, obscurely bronzy-brown bordered 

 with black ; costa toward the apex minutely dotted with 

 white; extreme hind margin edged with deep black cres- 

 cents ; cilia dull black faintly dusted with white. Hind 

 wings rather narrow, rounded ; basal portion nearly to the 

 middle white ; beyond this the whole wide hind-marginal 

 space is filled with a broad smoky-black band, except that 

 two irregular white dashes lie along the extreme margin and 

 affect the adjoining cilia, the rest being black-brown. 

 Female very similar, except that the fore wings are a little 

 longer and the subterminal line sometimes much more con- 

 spicuous, forming an irregular whitish-brown stripe. 



Underside of the fore wings smoky-black, with a looped 

 black line adjoining the reniform stigma, and a stripe of 

 white clouding along the hind margin, whiter toward the 

 anal angle ; cilia spotted with white. Hind wings white in 

 the basal half, but broadly dusted with brown along the 

 costal region ; central spot black ; beyond it is a similar 

 slender transverse stripe ; beyond this the hinder half of the 

 wings is clouded with smoky-black, but divided by a much 

 indented blacker line ; outside this are some dusky-white 

 clouds running into the hind margin, where is a much larger 

 one ; cilia blotched and spotted with white. Body and legs 

 dark smoky-brown.
