 ing from, the integumentary pigment and from 'the dark ciliation as fol- 

 lows: A large quadrate fuscous area beneath the veiiatinn fnnii tlie 

 break in the sulimarginal to the apex of the stigmal vein enclosing a 

 small hyaline spot between the spectilum and the apical part of the 

 submarginal vein; the first two rays on the anterior margin produced 

 by this hyaline spot and located respectively at the Jjreak in the sub- 

 marginal, and beneath the marginal and stigmal veins ; the (luatlrate 

 area further enclosing a central hyaline spot beneath and beyond the 

 speculum, but the posterior margin of the disk remaining dark so that 

 the ra_\s on the margin at this point are not differentiated ; the fuscous 

 area continued I)eyond the venation as a broad median longitudinal 

 I)and constricted before the apex and then triangularly enlarged at 

 apex; the band sending out two rays altove, the third and fourth on 

 the anterior margin, one just before the constriction, the other at the 

 apex and continuous with the triangular enlargement ; the band further 

 emitting one ray, which is narrowed at its base, just before the con- 

 striction towards the posterior margin, but the apical ray on this margin 

 is not differentiated from the triangular enlargement of the band; the 

 four rays on the .anterior margin much darker than the rest of the 

 fuscous area or nearl_\' black, the Hrst one narrowest, the others in- 

 creasing gradu.ally in width from the second to the fourth ; the first 

 pair of Iiyaline spots Iieyond the venation quadrate, the one on the 

 .'Ulterior margin nearly square, the other a little longer than wide ; the 

 second or subapical pair of hyaline spots both wider than long; most 

 of the submarginal vein brownish yellow, its apical part and the stigmal 

 vein nearly hyaline, the marginal vein lirown. Hind-wings entirely 

 hyaline.
