Notes on the Lepidoptera of America. 7 
same color; anal segment.provided with an ample tuft; laterally, 
at base, a few pale ochreous hairs; beyond, on each side, the anal 
hairs are largely black, the longer scales from beneath fringe these 
black lateral portions of the tuft, which are also somewhat folded 
towards each other terminally; medially, the anal tuft is obscure 
reddish tipped with black. Beneath, the anal hairs, with the 
entire abdominal surface, are dull ferruginous or rusty red. The pre- 
anal segment shows medially a few white scales; laterally, longer, 
pale ochreous hairs converge inwardly from the margins of the seg- 
ments. Anterior coxae, thickly clothed with pale yellow white hair, 
concolorous with under thoracic surface. Legs, slender, finely 
scaled ; anterior femora, tibiae and tarsi, obscure pale ferruginous 
or red inwardly, outwardly pale yellowish white; middle femora 
and tibiae, entirely pale whitish, with a dark discolored dot at the 
joint above ; tarsi, ferruginous, paler towards the base. Posterior 
legs with the femora and tibiae pale yellowish white; tarsi and 
base of the tibiae, dark ferruginous or red; tibial spines rather 
feeble, pale colored. 
Anterior wings, narrow, much produced at apices, short along 
internal margin, dark claret brown, covered at base with bright 
green scales; discal cell narrow, brought near the base of the 
wing, traversed longitudinally by a bar of scales. The costa is 
narrowly covered with ferruginous scales from just beyond the 
base to apex. Centre of the wing taken up by an oblique vit- 
reous space free from scales, much as in H. thysbe. A terminal 
brown marginal band narrowing to internal angle, its inner 
margin sinuors, vot dentate on the interspaces. On internal 
margin, below the vitreous space, a few scattered pale scales. 
Secondaries smaller, but quite similar to those of H. thysbe, in 
general coloration and appearance; the vitreous space crossed by 
six nervules. Under surface, resembling upper, dull rusty red, 
with a few pale scales at extreme base. 
The Female resembles the male in general appearance, size, and 
coloration, but the abdomen is more rounded and shorter. The 
anal tuft is pointed and narrower, beneath black, red at base; 
above, dull reddish, tipped with blackish ; antennae, slenderer than 
in the male.
