Male. — Expands from 1.6 to 2.2 inches. 



Upper side gray-brown, the outer third of both wings hght, but varying much 

 in individuals; the darker portion of primaries Hmited without by a fuscous dif- 

 fuse stripe from subcostal to second or third median nervule, bending outward 

 on the upper median nervule at nearly a right angle ; on secondaries there are 

 traces, more or less distinct, of a similar stripe, but narrowed ; primaries have an 

 extra-discal, nearly straight, transverse row of small, round, fuscous spots, usually 

 four ill number, standing on the two discoidal and the median interspaces ; 

 sometimes a fifth spot is present on the lower subcostal interspace, out of line 

 with the rest, turned towards the base ; these spots vary in size, usually the 

 lower two being largest and equal, the upper two a little smaller and equal ; the 

 fifth spot minute ; all surrounded by a narrow ring, paler than the ground color ; 

 but often there is nothing of this ; sometimes the lower spot has a white central 

 dot ; secondaries have a corresponding row of six spots, sometimes all large, at 

 others small as the spots of primaries, either without rings, or with decided 

 rings of brown-yellow, the uppermost spot, which is usually the largest of the 

 series, always without ring, and the spot next angle always minute ; fringes gray- 

 brown. 



Under side yellow-brown, tlie outer third of each wing paler ; the two areas 

 separated by a dark brown stripe, which in some examples is sharply serrate 

 throughout most of its course, sometimes sinuous ; each wing has a similar stripe 

 covering the arc of cell, and there is a common stripe crossing both cells and the 

 interspaces; the spots repeated, enlarged, each in a brown-yellow ring, which
