Secondaries have the disk black, much concealed by long; 

 fulvous hairs, and between this and the border a light band as on 

 primaries ; fringes alternately fuscous and sordid-white, white 

 prevailing on posterior half of secondaries. 



Under side of primaries dark brown at base and on posterior 

 half of wing quite to hind margin, the apex densely sprinkled 

 with gray-white scales ; the orange band repeated, but above 

 median replaced by white ; the patch on costa repeated. 



Secondaries brown, wholly sprinkled with gray-white scales^ 

 most densely beyond disk, and this area is somewhat clouded ; a 

 small white spot near base below sub-costal, otherwise immacu- 

 late. 



Body brown ; beneath, thorax gray-white, shading towards 

 abdomen into gray-brown ; legs reddish-brown, with many gray 

 scales and hairs ; palpi white ; antennae brown above, whitish 

 below ; club, black above, whitish below, tip dark ferruginous. 



Female. — Expands 2.2 inches. 



Less black, more orange fulvous; the borders as in the male; 

 in one example the black patches are nearly as in the male, but 

 in the other they are greatly reduced. In this last one, on under 

 side of' primaries, the orange band is broad and bifid, embracing 

 the costal patch ; secondaries, in addition to the white spot near 

 base, have a white patch, a cluster of white scales, denser than 

 elsewhere, near inner angle. 



From 1^2? taken in southern Arizona. 'Another ? was 

 taken, making four examples. They are described as sitting in 

 the sunlight, on leaves of Agave, and flying when disturbed to the 

 adjoining cliffs of rocks, alighting generally out of reach of the 

 net. I take pleasure in naming this species for Mr. B. Neumoegen, 

 whose zeal has led him to send a special agent, these two seasons, 

 to explore New Mexico and Arizona for lepidoptera. By great 

 sacrifices rich results fortunately have been attained, as was fit- 

 ting. In the Heterocera, particularly, numbers of new and rare 

 species have been taken.
