n. var. Deserta. Hy. Edw. 



A form occurring in Colorado and Arizona in which the pri- 

 maries are much more profusely mottled with white, the median 

 space and large reniform spot being almost clear white. The 

 spots of the secondaries are also more yellow and considerably 

 larger, the large discal one being more irregular in outline than 

 is the case in the typical form.

$. Size and aspect of S. Adumbrata, Behr. The primaries 

 are blackish at their base, covered with whitish scales. The an- 

 terior line enclosing the middle space is deeply toothed near the 

 second submedian nervule and is deep black. Median band mod- 

 erate in width, nearly equal throughout its length, bright chestnut 

 brown, shaded with a paler tint anteriorly. Behind this, almost 

 touching the costa, is a sub-oblong white patch. This rests on a 

 dark brown field, broad on the costa, extending up towards the 

 apex, but greatly narrowed on the internal margin. On 

 the costa are faint indications of small greyish blotches. 

 The sinuo-dentate submarginal line is white, edged with 

 dark brown, and the space between it and the margin is 

 brownish, with grey scales, becoming paler at the internal angle. 

 Marginal line scalloped, black, edged outwardly with grey. 

 Fringe, brown. Secondaries, dull yellow, with a waved median 

 band of black, deeply toothed in the middle, and joined to 

 another band in the centre, which passes to the base of the wing. 

 The margin has two sub-ovate black spots, joined by a black line, 

 and the abdominal margin is also blackish. Fringe, yellow,mottled 

 with black. Underside, yellow, the primaries with blackish mar- 

 gin, with a submarginal band of black, joined to a median one of 

 the same color, meeting before reaching the internal margin. 

 Secondaries, similar to the upper side.

N. var. Perpallida. Hy. Edw. 



A peculiar form of the above species, in which the primaries 

 have the margins much browner, and the secondaries yellow 

 instead of crimson. The markings are otherwise identical. It 

 cannot be confounded with either S. Divergens Behr. or S. Adum- 

 brata Behr., as the submarginal band is nearly straight inwardly,
