Form G.^lactinus. 



Male. — Expands 1.2 to 1.4 inch. 



Upper side sordid yellow-white, with a dusky shade over secondaries caused by 

 the dark under surface ; immaculate ; the base more or less obscured by black 

 scales, but some examples have nothing of this ; fringes long, color of wings. 



Under side gray-brown, darkest over basal half of secondaries, the hind mar- 

 gins of both wings lighter, a yellowish-gray ; the inner margin of primaries either 

 whitish or tinted brown ; a pale ray crosses the disk beyond cell to lower median 

 nervule, and on the basal side of this the dark scales are dense and make a sinuous 

 or crenated edge ; secondaries have a similar ray, angular, interrupted on upper 

 median interspace, broadest between this and costa ; primaries have near apex a 

 small black ocellus, in pale ring, with white centre, but often there is merely a 

 black dot, and sometimes this is wanting ; secondaries have from one to four sub- 

 marginal ocelli in the median and disco-cellular interspaces, differing in indi- 

 viduals as to distinctness. 



Body above, color of wings, beneath, the thorax is covered witli long dark gray 

 hairs; legs and palpi dark gray; antennae same above, yellowish below; club 

 gray, tip ferruginous. (Figs. 1, 2.) 



Female. — Expands 1.45 inch. 



As in the male, the under surface rather darker; the ocelli more pronounced, 

 sometimes a second one in the second median interspace of primaries. (Figs. 3, 4.) 



Form California.
