I apply this name to the form of the ? , in which the 4th seg- 

 ment of the abdomen only is deep orange, and in which " the space 

 between the two inner veins of the hind wings is nearly, or quite, 

 covered with blue-black scales, forming a stripe which divides the 

 transparent disc into two parts." Fitch, Noxious Insects, Pt. 1,
