veins one and two, nearest the latter, is a roundish yellow spot. Inner 

 half of base covered with rich yellow hair. Fringe yellowish-white, 

 alternated with dark brown at terminations of veins. Secondaries. — 

 Basal third, especially in inner part, heavily clothed with rich yellow 

 hair and scales, a band of four yellowish spots, separated only by the 

 veins, cross the wing beyond the middle; from this band toward the 

 costa, opposite the apex, is another quite yellow spot, which is suc- 

 ceeded by a larger one near the costa, nearly midway between the apex 

 and base of wing. Outer margin between the veins yellow, forming 

 patches more or less triangular, with the points inwards. Fringe yel- 

 lowish-white. Under surface. — Primaries brown, not so dark as above, 

 and shaded at outer margin and apex with hoary ; no yellow at base 

 of wings. Markings as above, excepting that the yellow band is con- 

 tinued from its lower end to, and connected with the yellow spot be- 

 tween it and the base, and between veins one and two. Secondaries. 

 — Hoary or whitish-gray dark brown along costa, especially towards 

 the base. Towards anal angle a fine white spot, corresponding in 

 position with the first of the series of four that compose the yellow 

 band of upperside ; each of the remaining yellow spots of upper sur- 

 face and the next one of the two, between them and the costa, is repre- 

 sented by a small dark brown spot, or rather row of continuous spots ; 

 the last towards the costa is replaced by one of pure white ; half way 

 between this latter spot and the base is another white spot, and also 

 one in the discoidal cell, from which a dark brown line extends to near 

 the abdominal margin. Fringes white and brown. Locality Georgia.

 Upperside. — Superiors rich brown, but not as bright, nor has the 

 brown as much red in it as yuccce. There are three subapical white 

 spots ; a lemon-yellow spot at end of cell ; there is a row of five yellow 

 spots running across the wing, parallel with the exterior margin ; the 

 upper two are small and square in shape ; the lower three are small 

 and triangular, and there is one in each of the three median inter- 

 spaces. The inferiors have a yellow marginal border about one-eighth 

 of an inch in width, the wing being otherwise immaculate, and is 

 clothed with long silky brown hair. Underside.— Superiors have the 

 spots repeated. Inferiors are gray, with a varying number of small 

 white spots — one specimen having two and the other five. The female 

 is larger and has the same number of spots as the male ; the three
